| Beschrijving voorzijde | Draped bust of Kore Soteira to right, her head adorned with a corn wreath and a necklace, the portrait assimilated to that of Faustina II. The legend ΚΟΡΗ ϹΩΤΕΙΡΑ runs around the periphery of the field, identifying the deity. The rendering reflects the Antonine-era provincial artistic tradition of merging imperial portraiture with divine iconography. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Cyzicus was one of the most monetarily active cities in the Propontis, with a long tradition of autonomous bronze coinage that persisted well into the imperial period. This issue falls within Commodus's early reign, before the paranoid self-deification that defined his later years — the period when he began demanding to be addressed as Hercules Romanus and renamed Rome itself Colonia Commodiana.
The civic mint at Cyzicus operated under the conventus system, meaning local magistrates retained nominal authority over bronze production while Rome controlled the silver.
