| Obverse description | A bull walking to the left in high relief occupies the central field, rendered with naturalistic musculature characteristic of the archaic Kyzikene style. Below the bull, a tunny fish is depicted horizontally, serving as the civic badge of Kyzikos and a standard device on the city's electrum coinage. The composition is framed within the irregular flan, with no inscriptions or legends present. The relief is bold and well-defined, reflecting the accomplished engraving tradition of the late archaic period. |
