| Reverse description | A war galley depicted in profile sailing to the right, rendered with multiple oars projecting beneath the hull in a fan-like arrangement and a raised prow and stern. The vessel is shown with an acrostolion at the prow and details suggesting rigging or a mast amidships, evoking the maritime prestige of Cyzicus as a major naval city on the Propontis. The Greek civic legend is distributed in the field and exergue area around the galley. The type alludes to the city's neocorate status and its historical importance as a naval power. |
