Hekte

正面描述	Eros depicted in full figure, standing to left and astride a bull crouching to left, grasping the animal firmly by both horns in a dynamic pose characteristic of Kyzikene artistic convention. The rendering exhibits fine archaic detail in the treatment of the figure and the musculature of the bull. In the lower field, a tunny fish swims to the left, serving as the civic badge of Kyzikos and a recurrent type-marker on the city's electrum coinage.

背面描述	Quadripartite incuse square of standard Kyzikene type, divided into four roughly equal recessed compartments by raised ridges meeting at the centre, the whole presenting an irregular but deeply impressed appearance characteristic of early Greek hammered coinage. The incuse punch is boldly struck and fills the reverse field, with no inscription or additional device. The surface within the compartments shows the granular texture typical of electrum hektes produced at Kyzikos during the fifth and fourth centuries BC.
