| Reverse description | A standing torch depicted upright in the central field, a symbol closely associated with the city of Cyzicus and its prominent role in the cult of Persephone and the Eleusinian mysteries. The design is rendered in the plain, abbreviated style typical of small provincial bronze denominations. The abbreviated civic ethnic ΚΥΖΙ appears in the field, identifying the issuing city of Cyzicus. The overall style and flan fabric are consistent with the provincial coinage of the Mysian conventus under Trajan. |
