| Obverse description | Draped bust of the Amazon Kyme, the legendary eponymous founder of the city, facing right, her hair bound and rendered in fine detail. The portrait is executed in the typical Hellenistic style of Aeolian civic coinage, with the facial features shown in profile. The field is plain, with no surrounding legend. The flan is irregular and the strike somewhat off-center, as is characteristic of this bronze emission. |
