| Reverse description | Two agonistic crowns set side by side on a low table or base, each adorned with a tall palm branch rising from within, symbolizing victory in the sacred games associated with the neocorate status of Cyzicus. The numeral Β (beta) appears in the central field between the crowns, denoting the city's second neocorate. The encircling Greek legend references the presiding strategos and the civic honor of the Cyzicenes, with ΝΕΟΚΟΡΩΝ appearing prominently in the lower field within a beaded border. |
