| Beschrijving voorzijde | Corn-wreathed and draped bust of Kore Soteira to the right, the deity's portrait assimilated to that of Faustina II, adorned with a necklace. The corn wreath — an iconographic attribute of Kore as grain goddess — frames the face with characteristic sheaves. The finely rendered drapery falls across the shoulder in the Antonine provincial manner. The circular legend identifying the divinity and the city of Cyzicus runs around the bust in Greek characters. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Cyzicus held the title of neokoros — guardian of an imperial cult temple — and competed fiercely with rival cities across the province of Asia for additional grants of the honor. The magistrate named in this issue, Aurelius Meidios, held the office of Asiarch, a prestigious regional priesthood tied to the imperial cult festivals that were themselves the political machinery behind exactly these coin-striking privileges. The question mark in the attribution reflects a reading problem in the die, not uncertainty about the office itself.
