Stater

正面描述	A bull standing in profile to the left, rendered in high relief with fine anatomical detail characteristic of Kyzikene electrum coinage. Beneath the bull, a tunny fish (tuna) swims to the left, serving as the civic badge of Kyzikos and a constant identifying device on the city's staters. The composition is set within a plain, slightly irregular oval field with no legend or inscription. The bold, naturalistic modelling of the bull displays the accomplished engraving style of the early Classical period.

背面描述	A quadripartite incuse square dominates the reverse, divided into four recessed compartments of roughly equal size by raised diagonal ridges meeting at the centre, a design characteristic of early Greek hammered coinage produced by the punch technique. The incuse is deeply impressed and irregularly formed, consistent with the hand-struck production methods of the late Archaic to early Classical period. The surface within each quadrant is uneven and granular in texture. No legend, symbol, or secondary device is present.
