| Obverse description | Eagle displayed with wings spread, standing to right upon a tunny fish oriented to right, all elements rendered in relief upon a raised circular disk. The composition is characteristic of Kyzikene electrum coinage, with the tunny serving as the civic badge of Kyzikos and the eagle functioning as a symbol of divine power. The devices are executed in the archaic Greek style with bold, stylized forms appropriate to the small module. |
