Comment
Legend can be inward or outward.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of the goddess Tyche, who was revered as the protector of the city of Hierocaesarea. The coin's design includes a depiction of Tyche standing on a rocky outcropping, surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves, symbolizing her connection to the natural world and her role as a guardian of the city. This image was likely chosen to convey the importance of Tyche's protection and blessing for the city and its people.
