| Reverse description | A war galley shown in left profile occupies the central field, with four oarsmen at their benches and a helmsman stationed at the stern. The oars are depicted in motion beneath the hull, conveying the vessel's forward movement. This type alludes to Cyzicus's proud maritime heritage and its status as a major Propontic port city. The civic legend is distributed around the periphery, referencing the city's neocorate honour. |
