| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare-headed bust of Emperor Marcus Aurelius facing right, with characteristic long beard rendered in fine detail, set within a plain field. The imperial effigy displays the emperor's mature physiognomy consistent with his early reign portraiture. A Greek legend surrounds the bust, abbreviated from the imperial titulature, distributed around the periphery of the flan. The die work reflects the provincial Greek engraving tradition of the Mysian mint at Cyzicus. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Cyzicus was among the most prolific bronze-issuing cities of the Mysian conventus under the Antonines, and its civic coinage under Marcus Aurelius spans a wide chronological range within the joint reign with Lucius Verus. The parenthetical note on the ethnic — a reversed Z in ΚΥΖΙΚΗΝΩΝ — is not mere copying error. Letter reversal in provincial bronze dies occurs when an engraver worked from an uninked model or transferred the design without mirroring, a workshop slip more diagnostic than it first appears.
