| Obverse lettering | ΑΥ ΚΑΙ Τ ΑΙ ΑΔΡΙΑ ΑΝΤΩΝΕΙΝΟϹ |
| Reverse description | Demeter standing in a biga drawn by two coiling serpents, advancing to the right. The goddess holds a long torch in each outstretched hand, a motif closely associated with her role as deity of grain and fertility and her search for Persephone. The composition is typical of Cyzicene provincial bronze coinage, reflecting the city's strong religious traditions. The reverse legend, incorporating a distinctive local variant of the letter Ζ rendered in the form of the Japanese katakana character エ, encircles the design. |
