| Additional information |
Cyzicus held the title of neokoros — warden of the imperial cult — multiple times over, and the boastful enumeration of that status in civic coinage was a deliberate political act, not mere civic pride. The reversed Ζ in the legend is almost certainly a die-engraver's error rather than a regional variant, and examples showing it are traceable to a specific obverse die pairing documented in the corpus of Mysian bronzes.
