| Obverse description | Laureate head of Zeus Ammon facing left, distinguished by the characteristic curling ram's horn above the ear and a visible ear; the hair is rendered in long braided locks falling down the nape of the neck in the archaic Greek tradition. The portrait displays finely modelled facial features with a serene, divine expression consistent with late Classical Kyzikene die-cutting. In the lower field, a tunny fish swims to the left, serving as the civic badge of Kyzikos and a constant type marker on this series. No legend is present, as is standard for the Kyzikene electrum coinage. |
