| Obverse description | Forepart of a winged horse (Pegasus) rendered in high relief, facing left, with finely detailed musculature and outstretched foreleg. A tunny fish (the civic badge of Kyzikos) is depicted beneath, also oriented to the left, serving as a subsidiary symbol identifying the issuing city. The design is struck on an irregularly shaped flan characteristic of archaic electrum coinage, with the figural devices filling the available field. The style is boldly rendered in the archaic Greek manner, with strong, confident lines. |
