Reverse description Seated female figure, identified as the city goddess (Tyche) or Amazon founder of Kyme, enthroned facing left, rendered in draped robes with a kalathos or helmet visible atop the head. The figure holds attributes consistent with Kyme's civic iconography, set upon a throne or rocky base. The encircling legend ΚΥΜΑΙΩΝ, meaning 'of the Kymaeans,' runs around the periphery in Greek characters, affirming the civic identity of the issuing authority. The composition is typical of mid-third century AD provincial bronze coinage from Aeolis.
