| Obverse description | Turreted, veiled, and draped bust of the Tyche of Sardis facing right, rendered in the provincial Greek style characteristic of the Lydian mint. The figure wears a mural crown (turreted headdress) symbolising the city's protective deity, with a veil draped over the head and garments falling in layered folds across the shoulders and chest. The bust is depicted in high relief against a flat field, surrounded by a beaded border. The encircling legend proclaims Sardis as the first metropolis of Asia, Lydia, and Greece. |
