| Reverse description | A caduceus — the herald's staff of Hermes — shown in full frontal view, standing upright on a low rectangular base or plinth, with two intertwined serpents rising symmetrically around the central shaft and a crescent surmounting the top. The composition is centrally placed within the field, with the Greek civic legend distributed around the periphery in two segments. The caduceus with crescent is a well-attested type for Cyzicene provincial coinage and alludes to the city's commercial prosperity and its religious traditions. |
