| 表面の説明 | 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. |

Kyzikos, the Propontic city that effectively ran one of the ancient world's most successful private monetary systems, produced electrum staters continuously from the archaic period through the mid-fourth century. The city sourced its electrum from Lydian and Pontic alluvial deposits, maintaining a remarkably consistent gold-to-silver ratio across centuries of production — a reliability that made Kyzikene staters the preferred trade currency across the Black Sea littoral and into Persia. Athenian merchants routinely quoted prices in "Kyzikenes" rather than their own coinage for high-value transactions.
Production ceased abruptly around 330 BC, almost certainly because Alexander's flood of Persian gold disrupted the premium that electrum commanded.
