| Obverse description | Draped bust of Tyche facing right, wearing a turreted crown with multiple battlements, set within a beaded border. The portrait is rendered in the Hellenistic tradition, with fine drapery visible at the shoulder. The turreted crown, a hallmark attribute of Tyche as city goddess, is prominently detailed. The overall style reflects the civic coinage conventions of Phoenician Tyre during the late Hellenistic period. |

| Reverse description | An upright palm tree with spreading fronds and two clusters of dates at the base occupies the central field, flanked on either side by Phoenician alphabetic letters denoting the name of Tyre. The palm tree is a quintessential symbol of the Phoenician city and appears as the principal reverse device throughout Tyrian bronze issues of this period. The composition is set within a plain border, with the Phoenician inscription positioned in the left and right fields. |
