The coin depicts one of the Gordon emperors on the obverse and Fortuna on the reverse. More specifically, as for Fortuna, she is the Roman Goddess of Luck, Fate, and Fortune. Here she is shown holding in one hand a cornucopia, or a horn of plenty, from which all good things flowed in abundance, representing her ability to bestow prosperity; in the other she holds a ship's rudder, to indicate that she is the one who controls how lives and fates are steered. On this coin, she is also shown enthroned, with the same attributes of rudder and cornucopia, but with a small wheel built into the chair, representing the cycles of fate and the ups and downs of fortune.
Fortuna Redux, one of the many aspects of Fortuna, was in charge of bringing people home safely, primarily from wars—redux means "coming back" or "returning".
