Reverse description A war galley (trireme or bireme) with rowers and helmsman, depicted in profile moving to the right, with oars extended beneath the hull in a fan-like arrangement. At the stern, two military standards are visible, affirming Cyzicus's naval and civic pride. The composition is rendered in a bold, provincial engraving style characteristic of the Mysia region. The Greek legend surrounding the type references Cyzicus by its neokorate title, attesting to the city's status as a temple warden of the imperial cult. The exergual and lower field lettering reads ΚΥΖΙΚΗΝ ΝΕΟΚ(Ο), abbreviating ΝΕΟΚΟΡΟϹ.
