| Obverse description | Tyche seated facing left on a rocky outcrop, turreted crown upon her head, holding a palm branch in her right hand. The figure is rendered in a schematic Hellenistic style characteristic of eastern civic bronze coinage of the late first century BC. The Greek legend ΣΑΜΟΣΑΤΩ ΠΟΛΕΩΣ is disposed in two vertical lines flanking the seated figure, reading downward on left and right. |
