| Reverse description | A single torch set upright in the central field, its shaft entwined by a serpent coiling upward toward the flame — a motif closely associated with chthonic and mystery cult symbolism, particularly relevant to the sacred rites of Cyzicus. The torch and serpent are rendered in low relief against a plain field, with the encircling civic legend partially legible around the periphery. The surface carries a consistent grayish-green patina with reddish-brown encrustations partially obscuring the legend. |
