Tyche standing to left, holding bust, staff
and rudder. Her right foot rests on a prow,
she steers the ship of state. At her feet to
her left, not so visible here, is a port worker,
perhaps a god, representing the harbor of
Sebastos. He gazes up at her in adoration
for her protection of the city. Large parts
of the statue that I believe formed the model
for this coin were found in the 1970's by the

are now on display in the museum there.

Azes II (reigned c. 35–12 BC), may have been the last Scythian king in Gandhara, western Pakistan. However, due to new research by R. C. Senior, his actual existence is now seriously in doubt, and "his" coins, etc., are now thought to refer to those of Azes I.
Azes I (c.48 BC – 25 BC) was an Indo-Scythian ruler who completed the domination of the Scythians in Gandhara.
