| Reverse description | The draped, veiled, and turreted bust of Tyche, the city goddess of Nisibis, facing right, emblematic of the city's fortune and protection. Before the bust, a star and a corn ear appear in the field, symbolising celestial favour and agricultural prosperity. Above, a ram leaps to the right, glancing back, serving as the zodiacal or civic symbol of the region. The reverse legend in Greek identifies the issuing city as the Metropolis of Septimia Colonia Nisibis. The overall composition reflects the established iconographic conventions of Roman provincial coinage in Mesopotamia. |
