Obverse description Draped bust of Tyche facing right, wearing a turreted and veiled crown with multiple tall battlements, her hair arranged in loose locks falling to the shoulder. The portrait is rendered in fine Hellenistic style with delicate facial features, and the drapery falls over the left shoulder. The field is plain and the flan shows characteristic irregular edges typical of Aradian coinage of the late 1st century BC.
