| Beschrijving keerzijde | Tyche standing left in full figure, wearing a mural crown and long chiton, holding in her extended right hand a small statuette of Ares in military dress, and cradling a cornucopia in her left arm as an emblem of civic prosperity. To the left of the figure stands a lighted altar, its flame rendered in relief, underscoring the religious character of the composition. The reverse type celebrates the tutelary deity of Metropolis and her association with martial virtue under the civic magistracy of strategos Aurelius Euporos, named in the surrounding legend. The overall style reflects the competent but somewhat rustic engraving tradition of the Ionian provincial mint at Metropolis. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Metropolis in Ionia was a minor city of the Ephesian conventus that punched above its weight in provincial bronze output during the joint reign of Valerian and Gallienus. The magistrate named in this issue — Aurelius Euporos, serving his second term as strategos — is attested on multiple die pairings, suggesting a sustained civic minting program under his administration rather than a single ceremonial emission.
The Aurelian praenomen hints at citizenship granted under Caracalla's 212 AD edict, three decades before this coin was struck.
