| Reverse description | Tyche of Nisibis is depicted seated left upon a rocky outcrop, holding grain ears in her extended hand, symbolizing the city's prosperity and fertility. Beneath her feet, a river god swims left, personifying the Mygdonius (Jaghjagh) River on whose banks Nisibis stood. Above in the field, a ram leaps left, a device associated with the region of Mesopotamia and possibly referencing the zodiacal sign Aries as a civic emblem. The encircling Greek legend identifies the city as the Septimian colony of Nisibis with metropolitan status. |
