| Obverse description | Draped bust of Kore-Soteira facing right, her hair elaborately coiffed in rolled and braided tresses secured at the back, with a wreath of grain or olive interwoven through the locks. The portraiture is executed in fine Hellenistic style, with delicate facial features and a naturalistic rendering of the hair. The flan fills the field with the bust prominently centered, with no legend or inscription present. |

| Reverse description | The ethnic KY (abbreviation for KYZIKENON) inscribed in two lines within the field, above a tunny fish (the civic badge of Kyzikos) depicted horizontally, all enclosed within a wreath of oak or olive leaves tied at the base. A small astragalos or pellet device appears at the apex of the wreath. The composition is tightly arranged within the circular flan, with the naturalistic leafy wreath forming a decorative border around the central devices. |
