This is NOT my coin! 
 

I lost the bidding tonight at the Bucephalus auction 😞 ... because I quickly wrote an email on the side - I missed the lot - I was outbid by 15€ .... Congratulations to the buyer - if you are reading this! 


Now I am a bit sad and need distraction with your Tyche coins! Please show me your Tyche! No matter if on obverses with head or as figure on reverses. No matter if bronze, silver - no matter if Greek, Roman, Provincial - there are so many beautiful Tyches... 

Please show them - it's tychen time!

Great idea! Amazing detail on that coin as well. I really love the Sagittarius jumping over her turrets. Sorry you missed it. 

Be warned: my Tyche is a bad bitch! My Tyche is so tough she beat up Mike Tyche-son, cured tourettes with her turrets and won a staring contest... with a mirror!

Surprisingly over the last 50 years some five articles have been written on this coinage. At the beginning only some three coins were known however in 1997 a hoard of slightly less that 200 of these coins were found.

Tyche appears pretty frequently on the reverses of Parthian coins (other than the drachms).  The most common reverse type on the tetradrachms is Tyche handing a diadem to the king.  Here's a representative example on a tetradrachm of Vardanes II (55-58):

image.jpeg.c5acfab4a4744bd5cb9751a4cca6127e.jpeg

Tyche also shows up on Parthian bronze coinage.  She is the usual subject of the reverse of bronze coins from Seleucia-on-the-Tigris (and even appears on the obverse of a few "pseudo-autonomous" coins), but she also makes appearances on other cities' coins.  Here she is on a bronze of Ecbatana, issued by Orodes II (57-38 BC).  The portrait style is pretty silly, with a wobbly three-tiered turret hat, nose too far up her forehead, and a facial expression that I once described as "the derpiest derp-face that ever derped."

Here is one with a Phoenician date:

Phoenicia, Marathos, dated Year 26 (233 BC), AE18 5.98g
Obv: Tyche bust with palm branch
Rev: On right, downwards, 𐤖𐤖𐤖𐤖𐤖𐤖𐤘𐤕𐤔 ('Year 26' in Phoenician; 233/2 BC); on left 𐤔𐤌 upwards; Astarte standing
Ref: Lindgren & Kovacs 2304; BMC p. 297, 1 (plate XXXV #7).
CNG, Triton VI, January 2002, lot 1563 (part) ex David Freedman

When I attempted to decipher the year there were no examples to check on acsearch.info for comparison.

Now there are several:

  • year 103 = 157-156 (?).
  • 107 =152/151 v.Chr.?
  • "73"= 187/186 v.Chr

This makes me think some of us have misread the date.

I won the coin pictured below at Roma Auction XX, the most important auction of 2020, where the famous EID.MAR gold aureus set the record for the highest price an ancient coin ever achieved at auction ☺️. I lost control while bidding on this coin 🙄, & ended up paying times the estimate 😮, never the less I'm happy I won the coin 😄.

Pictured below was the star of the auction. To this day I still don't know who won this fabulous coin 🤔.

Nice Seleukia,  no doubt the Eid Mar is in a investors hands. I hope a hoard of several 100 AU Eid mars is discovered and most rapidly dispersed!  As kapphnwn above the discovery of a hoard of Aigai tets altered things somewhat! Until 1842 William the Conk Paxis pennies were rare until a hoard was discovered of a few 100?

Tyche is likely the most used theme on 'provincial' coinage. This is from a series of auctions that have been going for the last 3months, dispatching the odds and ends of a southern German collection:

These are all not my coins!

We had a private / business meeting today. And the collector colleague also had these four Tych coins in his tablets - which I also photographed and would like to show you here. Since, as I said, they are not my coins, I have no idea about the dates - Philip I and Philip Caesar certainly - but I cannot say offhand which mints, weight, diameter, etc. they are from. But - I still wanted to show his Tyches here in the thread.

What a fabulous thread!!  (@shanxi: that Lydian obverse Tyche is stunning!)

Here are a few of my favourite Tyches.

Tyche tetradrachm of Demetrios I:

image.jpeg.367bb428885f5601fec7d241177f8bad.jpeg

 

Tyche and Sol merge on this countermarked Tarsus:

image.jpeg.337b8dd61a193559c1dc0cd88eb27622.jpeg

 

And (rather less attractively) Tyche merges with Titus on this one (Antioch AE21 dated 188=79/80):image.jpeg.0bb3715a83d677687887c3bb54e9059f.jpeg

 

Even worn, the Tyche busts on the bronzes of Laodicea are often lovely:

image.jpeg.78162f7329edb8f762db7caf7185c481.jpeg

By the time of Gallienus, though, poor Tyche has appeared on so many coins that she's totally exhausted and not a little irritable (Alexandria in Troas):

image.jpeg.116c90ac74bcb2a28eaba3d245d30f48.jpeg

Finally, here's one of the very last Tyches, on a pentanummium of Justin I and Justinian (joint reign, 527):

N.S.K., You make a good point, the rarity of an ancient coin can change in an instant if a hoard of the same type is discovered 😏. That's one of the pitfalls of collecting ancient coins we all have to deal with....

Some lovely Tyches in this thread.  Not to bring down the neighborhood, I'm going to share two of my ugliest.

This one was in my collection for a couple years before I figured out I'd misattributed it to Severus Alexander; it is actually Macrinus, from Macedon: 

2135540472_AmphipolisMacedon-MacrinusTychelotJul2020(0).jpg.e5c8c959ced04b1d4fee512669658e5b.jpg

Macrinus  Æ 22 Macedonia, Amphipolis (217-218 A. D.) [AV M O(pit over Π)]Є C[ЄV M]AKPIN[OC], laureate and cuirassed bust right /[AMΦIΠ]OΛEITΩN, Tyche-City Goddess enthroned left holding patera. Varbanov 3285; Sear GIC 2910. (5.87 grams / 22 mm ) eBay July 2020 Attribution Notes:  I originally thought this was Severus Alexander; it is Macrinus.  The lack of a fish in the exergue is what tipped me off (all Severus Alexanders have the fish). What looks like an O before the Є in the obverse legend seems to be a pit in the surface of the flan.  

From father to son, this one was issued by Sillyum. It is just awful, part of an unattributed eBay lot (from whence a lot of my Provincials come).  I could only find one other example, the Wildwinds plate coin, said to be unpublished.  This one seems to be a die-match, so now there's two of 'em - I'm willing to consider offers in the low five figures 😇

1621161407_SillyumPamphylia-DiadumenianTychelotJun2022(0cln2).jpg.825e5bb5901989e41bf2615b6cda1570.jpg

Diadumenian  Æ 17 Sillyum, Pamphylia (c. 217-218 A.D.) [...ANTΩ]ΔIAΔ[OVM...], bare-headed, draped and cuirassed bust right / CIΛΛV[Є]ΩN, Tyche standing left, holding rudder and cornucopia. Unpublished (see notes). (4.65 grams / 17 mm) eBay June 2022        Lot @ $0.99  Attribution Notes:  Appears to be a die match for unpublished specimen on Wildwinds via Gitbud & Naumann Auction 38; Lot 568; 06.12.2015. Auction description: SNG von Aulock -; SNG Copenhagen -; BMC -; Isegrim -; apparently unpublished.

My ugly one compared to the much more appetizing Wildwinds example:

I have handsomer Tyches, but this gave me an excuse to post a couple of plug-uglies.
