Chalkon - Kyzikos

Beschrijving voorzijde	Laureate head of Apollo facing left, rendered in the Classical Greek style characteristic of Mysian civic coinage. The deity's hair is bound with a laurel wreath, with loose locks falling behind the neck. The facial features display the idealized aesthetic of late Classical workmanship, with a straight profile and well-defined chin. The flan is slightly irregular, as typical of hammered bronze issues of this period.

Beschrijving keerzijde	A tall amphora occupies the central field, depicted in outline with pronounced handles and a tapering body, serving as the principal civic emblem of Kyzikos. Below the amphora, a tunny fish swims to the right, a recurring symbol on Kyzikene coinage referencing the city's maritime identity and the commercially significant bluefin tuna of the Propontis. The ethnic inscription ΚΥ-ΖΙ appears divided on either side of the amphora, identifying the issuing city. The composition is compact and well-organized within the small circular flan.
