| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate head of Artemis facing right, rendered in archaic Hellenistic style with softly modelled features and hair arranged beneath a laurel wreath. A quiver is visible behind the neck, serving as the goddess's characteristic attribute. The portrait occupies the majority of the flan, with the field showing typical surface patination consistent with a hammered bronze issue. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Kys was a minor Carian settlement whose civic coinage is poorly documented and rarely appears in major collections. The city's bronze issues were almost certainly produced in short, intermittent runs tied to local festival or market needs rather than any sustained monetary program — a pattern common to small Carian poleis operating under the long shadow of Rhodian commercial dominance in the region.
