| Beschrijving voorzijde | Youthful diademed head of the eponymous hero Kyzikos facing right, rendered with flowing curly hair and idealized features in the Hellenistic tradition. A serpent is depicted in the lower field beneath the bust, serving as an attribute associated with the hero's chthonic and founding mythology. The Greek legend ΚΥΖΙΚΟϹ appears in the field, identifying the depicted figure. The flan is irregular, typical of provincial bronze coinage of the period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Cyzicus held the rare distinction of double neokorate status under the imperial cult — the "B" (beta) designation in this coin's inscription marks the city's second temple wardenship, an honor granted incrementally and jealously guarded as a source of civic prestige and festival revenue. During Gallienus's sole reign after Valerian's capture by Shapur I in 260, the eastern mints and civic issues proliferated as the empire splintered; local bronzes like this one filled the gap left by increasingly debased central coinage.
