| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare head of Marcus Aurelius facing right, depicted with his characteristic long beard rendered in thick curling locks and wavy hair. The portrait is executed in the naturalistic Greek provincial style, with the emperor's features rendered in moderately high relief. The circular legend surrounds the effigy, running along the beaded border of the flan. The treatment of the beard and hair reflects the mature portraiture of Marcus Aurelius typical of the Antonine period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Cyzicus, a prosperous city on the Propontis coast in Mysia, retained the right to strike bronze civic coinage under Roman administration — a privilege maintained through consistent civic loyalty and the city's strategic importance as a regional commercial hub. This issue falls within the decade of Marcus Aurelius's co-rule with Lucius Verus and the subsequent Marcomannic Wars, a period when imperial attention was stretched thin across both the eastern and Danubian frontiers simultaneously.
The ΚΥΖΙΚΗΝΩΝ ethnic in the nominative plural was the standard civic formula for Cyzicene bronze, distinguishing municipal from provincial Koinon issues.
