| Beschrijving keerzijde | Tyche, the personification of Fortune and civic protectress of Amisus, seated left upon a throne. In her extended right hand she holds a rudder set upon a bearded male head facing left, symbolising guidance and dominion over fate, while her left hand grasps a cornucopia overflowing with abundance. The composition is a standard iconographic type for Pontic civic bronzes of the Severan period. The reverse legend ΑΜΙϹΟΥ ΕΛΕΥΘΕΡΑϹ ΕΤ ϹΜΑ, distributed around the field, identifies the issuing city as the free city of Amisus and provides the civic era date ΕΤ ϹΜΑ (year 241), corresponding to 209–210 CE. |

Amisus held the status of a free city — ΕΛΕΥΘΕΡΑϹ — under Roman rule, a privilege dating back to Pompey's reorganization of the Black Sea region in 64 BC and jealously maintained through successive imperial administrations. That autonomy allowed the city to issue its own bronze coinage on a local era, here ΕΤ ϹΜΑ, year 241 of the Pontic era, placing this piece firmly in 209–210 AD. Severus was in Britain for much of this period, campaigning north of Hadrian's Wall in what proved to be the last major Roman offensive into Caledonia.
