| Reverse description | A young bull (calf) rendered in high relief, pacing to the left, with naturalistic musculature and a prominent head slightly lowered. The animal stands on a plain ground line occupying the central field of the coin. The Greek civic legend of Cyzicus is inscribed in the upper field, partially encircling the type, with the notable epigraphic peculiarity of the zeta (Ζ) rendered in a form resembling the Japanese katakana character エ. A partial dotted border is visible along the lower rim. |
