Hekte

正面描述	Forepart of a tunny fish facing right, rendered in archaic relief with bold, stylized strokes characteristic of early Kyzikene coinage. A small tunny fish appears in the upper field above the main device, and a second small tunny is positioned in the lower field below, serving as the city's emblematic symbol. The design occupies an irregularly shaped flan with no border or legend, the imagery carved with vigorous, primitive artistry typical of the late archaic period.

附加信息	Kyzikos, situated on the Propontis in Mysia, became one of the ancient world's most prolific issuers of electrum coinage — its staters and fractions circulating as a de facto international currency across the Greek world for roughly two centuries. The city's electrum was notably consistent in alloy, which built the trust that made Kyzikene coinage acceptable far beyond its immediate region. The hekte represents one-sixth of the Kyzikene stater. Hoards found across the Black Sea littoral confirm these fractions moved with merchant traffic rather than staying local.
