Comment
Possibly an unpublished pseudo-autonomous issue from the time of Antoninus Pius imitating an older ancient Greek coin.Interesting fact
The coin features an image of the Roman emperor Antoninus Pius on one side and a depiction of the goddess Tyche on the other. Tyche was the patron deity of Antioch, and her image on the coin symbolized the city's prosperity and good fortune.
