| Reverse description | A young bull (calf) walking to the left, rendered in profile with musculature indicated by incised lines, occupying the central field. The animal, a sacred bovine type closely associated with the coinage and religious traditions of Cyzicus, is depicted with head lowered. A dotted border frames the design. The encircling Greek legend, reading ΚΥΖΙΚΗΝΩΝ ΝΕΟΚΟ(ΡΩΝ), identifies the city as a neokoros — an honorific title denoting the city's role as an official keeper of an imperial cult temple — with the notable local die variant of the Ζ rendered in a form resembling the Japanese katakana character エ. |
