The representation of the Amazon Tyche with a turreted crown is a distinctive emblem of the city, symbolizing both its mythical foundation and its urban strength, while the tripod reinforces the importance of the cult of Apollo in local religious life.

Obverse: Head of the Amazon Smyrna, represented as the personification of the city, Tyche, facing right. She wears a mural crown or turreted crown.

Reverse: Tripod associated with Apollo, the city's primary deity.

Legend: Generally includes the city name or that of the issuing magistrate. On this specimen, it is not fully legible. This type of coinage reflects the commercial vitality and civic pride of Smyrna—modern-day Izmir, Turkey—during the Hellenistic period.
