| Reverse description | The mythological founder figure, identified as the Amazon Kyme, advances to the left in a dynamic striding pose, holding a spear or sceptre in her right hand and a length of entwisted drapery or cloth in her left hand. At her feet to the left appears a male Triton or similar marine deity, alluding to the coastal identity of the city of Cyme in Aeolis. The ethnic legend ΚΥΜΑΙΩΝ is inscribed in the field, identifying this as a civic issue of the Cymaeans. The reverse type reflects the city's mythological tradition connecting its foundation to the Amazons. |
