Hemihekte

正面描述	A dolphin rendered in high relief leaps to the left in the upper portion of the flan, its body arched in a naturalistic archaic style. Beneath it, a tunny (Atlantic bluefin tuna), the civic emblem of Kyzikos, swims to the left along the lower field. Both creatures are depicted with confident, fluid contour lines characteristic of early Ionian die-cutting. The coin field is unlettered, relying entirely on the marine imagery as the type identifier.

附加信息	Kyzikos, the Propontine city that became one of antiquity's most prolific electrum-issuing mints, produced its coinage in a remarkably consistent series spanning roughly two centuries. The city's position controlling trade routes between the Aegean and Black Sea gave its electrum issues — struck from naturally occurring gold-silver alloy sourced largely from the Pactolus river region — a commercial reach extending from Egypt to the Pontic coast. Athenian hoards from the fifth century consistently include Kyzikenoi alongside local silver, evidence of genuine pan-Mediterranean circulation. The hemihekte represents the smallest practical denomination in this system, a twelfth of the stater.
