| Beschrijving keerzijde | A single-handled skyphos or one-handled cup (kylix) depicted in the central field, serving as the principal civic type and a probable punning reference to the city name Kyme. The magistrate's name appears in Greek letters divided across the field, with KY to the left and HΡAIOΣ to the right of the cup. The reverse is struck on an irregular flan with a somewhat rough surface consistent with the bronze coinage of Aeolian Kyme of this period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Kyme was the dominant city of Aeolis for much of the Hellenistic period, and this small bronze issue falls within the stretch of Seleucid and then Attalid pressure on the region — Pergamon's expanding influence over the Aeolian cities was already reshaping local political arrangements by the early second century. Small civic bronzes of this type circulated as the lowest denomination in everyday exchange, handled by people who likely never touched silver in a week's trading.
The SNG von Aulock attribution places this firmly within the well-documented Kymaean series, though minor die variations across the type are not uncommon.
