| Beschrijving voorzijde | Facing gorgoneion depicted full face within a dotted border, rendered in archaic-influenced style with writhing serpents framing the visage on either side. The grotesque apotropaic mask displays broad, staring features with a wide nose and open mouth, surrounded by coiling snakes that serve as hair. The design occupies the full field of the flan with no inscription or legend. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Miletopolis sat in the Macestus river valley southeast of Cyzicus, close enough to that dominant mint city to exist perpetually in its shadow. The city struck bronze for local exchange when larger regional coins handled serious commerce — these small bronzes circulated within a tight geographic radius and rarely traveled far. The SNG von Aulock and SNG France concordance here places this among the better-documented Mysinan civic issues, though the city itself left almost no literary trace beyond Strabo's passing mention.
