| Beschrijving keerzijde | Tyche, the personification of the city's fortune, is depicted enthroned and seated to the left upon a high-backed chair, her feet resting upon a footstool visible beneath the throne. She extends her right hand to hold a small Nike figurine and grasps a tall sceptre in her left hand. The composition is typical of civic reverse types employed by Pontic mints to celebrate local divine patronage, and the Greek ethnic legend of the issuing city appears in the field to the right. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Amastris, a coastal city on the Black Sea shore of Pontus, was founded in the early third century BC by a niece of Darius III and former wife of Craterus — one of Alexander's generals. It retained a strong civic identity through the imperial period, issuing bronze coinage under its own authority well into the Severan dynasty. The reign of Septimius Severus was particularly active for provincial mints across Bithynia and Pontus, partly driven by his need to legitimize a rule won through civil war.
