Reverse description Tyche, the personification of Fortune and civic deity of Samos, depicted standing facing with head turned to the left. She holds a ship's rudder in her right hand, symbolising the island city's maritime character and prosperity, and a cornucopia in her left hand, representing abundance. The figure is rendered in a long draped chiton typical of provincial Greek civic iconography of the Severan era. The ethnic legend ϹΑΜΙΩΝ appears in the field.
