| Reverse description | Standing figure of Tyche, the personification of civic fortune, depicted full-length facing left at the centre of the field. She holds a ship's rudder in her right hand, symbolising guidance and destiny, and a cornucopia overflowing with abundance in her left arm, emblematic of prosperity. The composition is typical of civic reverse types struck for cities of the Lydian conventus under Roman provincial administration. The peripheral Greek ethnic legend identifies the issuing city of Cadi. Heavy wear and encrustation render the finer details of the drapery largely indistinct. |
