| Reverse description | A war galley with oarsmen and helmsman moves to the left, rendered in the detailed maritime style characteristic of Cyzicus coinage, reflecting the city's proud naval heritage and its prominent position on the Propontis. On the prow stands a Triton blowing a conch shell, while two military standards are visible on the stern. The reverse legend ΚΥΖΙΚΗΝΩΝ ΝΕΟΚΟΡΩΝ, with the notable variant Ζ formed in the shape of the Japanese katakana エ, records the city's coveted neokorate status. The design as a whole underscores Cyzicus's identity as a major maritime and religious centre of the Roman province of Asia. |
