| Obverse description | Turreted and veiled bust of Tyche facing right, wearing a mural crown with veil falling behind, adorned with a stylis at the shoulder. The portrait is rendered in the Hellenistic tradition, with softly modeled facial features. The field is plain, with no surrounding legend. The flan shows characteristic irregularity typical of provincially struck hammered bronzes of the period. |

| Reverse description | Nike standing right atop a ship's prow, holding a wreath in her extended right hand and a palm frond over her left shoulder, rendered in the striding Hellenistic victory type. The ethnic inscription ΤΡΙΠΟΛΙΤΩΝ arcs around the design, identifying the issuing city. A regnal date LH[ΠC] appears in the right field, corresponding to year 8 of the Pompeian era, equivalent to 25–24 BC. The overall composition reflects standard Phoenician provincial civic coinage of the late Hellenistic period. |
