| Reverse description | Head of a roaring lion facing left, rendered in bold archaic relief characteristic of early Classical Greek coinage, with a wide-open mouth exposing the teeth and a powerfully modeled mane depicted with pronounced striated feathering. A tunny fish appears behind the lion's head, serving as the civic badge of Kyzikos and a persistent mint identifier on this series. The design is set within a shallow incuse square produced by the reverse punch during striking. The flan edges are irregular, typical of small hammered silver fractions of this period and mint. |
