| Reverse description | Tyche, the tutelary deity of Cyme, depicted standing to the left atop the prow of a galley, rendered in full-length draped figure. She holds a long rudder in her right hand and a cornucopia in her left, emblematic of the city's maritime prosperity and good fortune. The galley prow beneath her feet emphasizes Cyme's identity as a coastal city of Aeolis. A multi-part Greek magistrate legend encircles the field, referencing the strategos Aurelius Elpidephoros serving for the second time. A dotted border frames the composition. |
