| Reverse description | Tyche, the personification of the city's fortune, stands facing left in full figure, clad in a long chiton and himation, wearing a turreted crown upon her head. In her extended right hand she holds a long rudder resting on the ground, symbolizing guidance and governance, while in her left arm she cradles a cornucopia overflowing with fruit and abundance, along with ears of grain. The Greek civic ethnic legend ΙΕΡΑΠΟΛΕΙΤΩΝ surrounds the figure, identifying the issuing city of Hierapolis in Phrygia. |
