| Beschrijving voorzijde | A horse depicted in a prancing pose, advancing to the left in high relief, rendered in the archaic style characteristic of early Aeolian coinage. The musculature of the animal is boldly rendered, with the forelegs raised dynamically. A small floral device, identified as a flower or rosette, appears beneath the horse in the lower field. The design is enclosed within a beaded border and occupies the full flan, consistent with early fifth-century Greek electrum coinage conventions. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Kyme was the dominant Aeolian city on the western Anatolian coast, and these electrum staters fall squarely within the period of the Ionian Revolt against Achaemenid Persian rule. Whether Kyme actively participated in the revolt remains debated — ancient sources suggest a cautious, largely peripheral role — but the mint was operating precisely during the years Miletus burned and the Persian fleet swept the Aegean.
The electrum itself is native Lydian-region alloy, not artificially refined, meaning the gold-silver ratio varies between dies.
