| Beschrijving keerzijde | The personification of Tyche, the city goddess of Amaseia, stands facing left in full figure, wearing a kalathos (modius) upon her head as an emblem of civic fortune and abundance. She holds a ship's rudder downward in her right hand, symbolising the city's destiny and guidance, and a cornucopia in her left arm, signifying prosperity. The date formula ΕΤ ΡϘ (year 199 of the Pontic era, corresponding to 187/188 AD) appears in the lower field flanking the figure. The surrounding Greek legend, arranged around the dotted border, records the honorific titles of Amaseia as metropolis and neokoros. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Amaseia, the ancient capital of Pontus and birthplace of the geographer Strabo, held the title of metropolis and neokoros — temple-warden of the imperial cult — which the city leveraged aggressively in its civic coinage. The garbled ΠΝΟ in the legend, a known scribal or die-cutter error for ΠΟΝ (Pontus), appears on a small cluster of dies from this period and was never corrected, suggesting the error entered the series late in the striking run when correction was no longer worth the cost of new dies.
