| Obverse description | Diademed head of the Amazon Kyme, eponymous founder of the city, facing right; the hair is rendered in fine parallel striations gathered beneath a diadem, with loose locks falling to the neck. The portrait is executed in the restrained Hellenistic style typical of Aeolian civic coinage of the mid-third century BC. No legend or inscription appears in the field. |
