| Reverse description | Standing figure of Demeter advancing to the right, depicted in flowing robes, holding a lit torch in each outstretched hand, emblematic of her role as goddess of the harvest and her mythological search for Persephone. The composition fills the central field, with the civic legend distributed around the periphery in Greek characters. The reverse type reflects the religious and civic pride of Cyzicus, a twice-neocorate city honoured with the privilege of maintaining imperial cult temples. The overall style is consistent with the provincial bronze coinage struck at Cyzicus during the reign of Gallienus. |
