| Beschrijving keerzijde | Quadripartite incuse square deeply impressed into the flan, divided by two perpendicular raised ridges into four symmetrical recessed compartments of roughly equal size, a hallmark of early Greek hammered coinage technique. The incuse is well-centered on the irregularly shaped flan, with the four quadrants showing slightly varied surface texture due to the hand-striking process. No inscription or additional device is present. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Kyzikos dominated electrum coinage in the eastern Aegean for roughly two centuries, and the city's hektes circulated far beyond Mysia — recovered from hoards across the Black Sea littoral, the Levant, and mainland Greece. The alloy used at Kyzikos was natural electrum from regional sources, with a gold content that varied enough between issues to be distinguishable by specific gravity. H&L II#34 places this piece among the earlier phase of the series, predating the city's later standardization efforts.
