| Reverse description | Tyche standing facing, her head turned slightly, wearing a kalathos and draped in a chiton and himation. Her right hand is raised in a gesture of benediction, while her left arm supports a cornucopia, symbol of abundance and divine favour. A Greek legend surrounds the figure within a dotted border, typical of the Hellenistic-influenced reverse types employed by the Indo-Scythian Northern Satraps. The engraving style reflects the synthesis of Greek iconographic conventions with local workshop execution. |
