| Beschrijving keerzijde | A warship (galley) under full sail advances to the right, with a billowing square sail set on a central mast and oars visible below the hull indicating six rowers and a helmsman at the stern. Two military standards are depicted at the stern, emblems of civic and military pride. The composition is boldly rendered in high relief, characteristic of the Cyzicene neokorate coinage. The Greek legend ΚΥΖΙΚΗΝΩΝ ΝΕΟΚΟ, proclaiming Cyzicus as a neokorate city, is distributed in the field, with a beaded border encircling the design. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Cyzicus held the title of neokoros — official keeper of an imperial cult temple — and this issue almost certainly commemorates the city's grant of that honor under Marcus Aurelius, possibly its first such grant. The neokorate was a fiercely contested civic distinction in the Greek East; cities lobbied the emperor directly, and the title brought real economic benefits through festival traffic and increased prestige among neighboring poleis. Cyzicus had long been one of the wealthiest port cities on the Propontis, and its electrum coinage had dominated regional trade for centuries before Roman provincial bronze replaced it.
