| Reverse description | Tyche, the personification of fortune and civic prosperity, stands facing left in full figure, wearing a turreted crown and long chiton. In her extended right hand she holds a small statuette of Ares, the god of war, while her left arm supports a large cornucopia symbolising abundance. The figural composition is framed by a circular Greek legend and a dotted border, with the type affirming Metropolis's status as a leading city of Ionia. |
