Stater

正面描述	Two tunny fish (thunnus) heads arranged back-to-back in opposed juxtaposition, rendered in bold archaic relief with characteristically simplified anatomical detail. Beneath this pairing, a third tunny fish is depicted in profile facing right, occupying the lower field. The tunny, emblematic civic symbol of Kyzikos, is executed in the angular, stylised manner characteristic of early Ionian coinage of the late seventh to early sixth century BC. The flan is of irregular rounded form, as is typical of this early electrum series.

背面描述	Plain quadripartite incuse square divided into four roughly equal recessed compartments by raised intersecting ridges, struck in deep relief using the early punch technique. The compartments display an uneven, slightly irregular surface texture consistent with early archaic hammered coinage from the Propontic region. No inscription or additional device is present. This incuse reverse type is standard for the early electrum stater coinage of Kyzikos and reflects the primitive punch-and-anvil striking method employed at this period.
