| Beschrijving keerzijde | A Capricorn — the hybrid creature combining a goat's foreparts with a fish-tail — depicted in right-facing profile, striding or leaping across the central field. The creature's head bears a prominent curved horn, and the fish-tail curves beneath the body, a motif closely associated with Augustan and early imperial civic symbolism adopted by provincial mints. The ethnic legend ΚΥΖΙΚΗΝΩΝ is distributed around the field, denoting the civic authority of the Cyzicenes. The entire design is contained within a beaded circular border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Cyzicus was among the most prolific bronze-issuing cities in the Conventus of Cyzicus during the Antonine and Severan periods, but the window of 180–186 AD is historically pointed: it opens with Marcus Aurelius dead and Commodus sole emperor, a transition the eastern Greek cities navigated carefully by accelerating imperial honorific coinage. The city's mint output under Commodus was substantial, and many issues were tied directly to flattering the new emperor at a moment when civic loyalty signals carried real political weight.
