| Reverse description | Central field features two large flaming torches standing upright, each entwined by a serpent, a design closely associated with the Eleusinian Mysteries and the cult of Demeter, for which Cyzicus held neokoros status. Between the torches stands a small lighted altar. The encircling Greek legend records the name of the strategos Sostratos and the neokoros title of Cyzicus, divided across the field. |
