| Reverse description | A tripod, fitted with a single ring at the apex and two lateral handles, stands upon a tunny fish oriented to the right — the tunny being the emblematic civic symbol of Kyzikos. A monogram appears to the right of the tripod in the field. The design is boldly conceived within the confined flan, with the combination of tripod and tunny referencing both the religious and commercial identity of the city. |
