| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare head of Augustus facing right, encircled by a laurel wreath, rendered in low relief in the provincial Greek style. The portrait displays the characteristically idealized features of the Augustan era, with the wreath serving as an emblem of imperial authority. The flan is irregular, as typical of civic bronze issues of the period. The field is largely plain, with no visible legend on this side. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Cyzicus, a prosperous port on the Propontis, maintained a long tradition of civic coinage and was among the earliest eastern mints to issue bronze in Augustus's name following the settlement of 27 BC. The city had backed the right side in the civil wars — its loyalty to Rome during the Mithridatic conflicts decades earlier had earned it formal recognition as a free city, a status it carefully preserved into the Augustan period.
The abbreviated ethnic ΚΥΖΙ places this firmly within the local civic series rather than any imperially directed issue.
