| Reverse description | Tyche of Metropolis stands facing left in full figure, wearing a mural crown and long chiton, holding in her extended right hand a small statuette of Ares and cradling a cornucopia in her left arm. The composition reflects the civic pride of the Ionian city of Metropolis, with the attributes of Ares alluding to the city's martial associations. The encircling Greek legend identifies the issuing authority and fills the field around the deity. A beaded border frames the design. |
