| Obverse description | Forepart of a boar advancing left, rendered in bold archaic relief with musculature indicated by incised lines. A tunny fish appears in the field behind the boar, serving as the civic badge of Kyzikos and a recurring type-identifier on the city's coinage. The design is set against a plain, slightly irregular flan typical of early electrum and silver issues from this mint. The boar's head is depicted with characteristic detail including a prominent ear and upturned snout. |
