| Reverse description | A bull strides vigorously to the right across a ground line, rendered in high relief with naturalistic musculature, serving as the sacred animal associated with Cyzicus and its cult of Kore-Persephone. The encircling Greek legend occupies the upper and lateral fields, while the inscription ΚΟΡΗ appears in the exergue, referencing the goddess Kore, patron deity of Cyzicus. The overall composition is typical of the civic bronze coinage of the Mysian mint during the Severan period. |
