| Obverse description | Bearded male head, likely Zeus or Poseidon, facing left in high relief, rendered in the fine archaic-to-classical Greek style characteristic of Kyzikene coinage. The deity wears a laureate or wreath-adorned pointed cap, with flowing hair and beard rendered in carefully engraved strands fanning across the lower field. The facial features are powerfully modeled, conveying divine authority and artistic sophistication. No legend or inscription appears on the obverse, consistent with the standard anonymous typology of Kyzikene electrum staters. The coin's irregular flan exhibits the naturally rounded, planchet-shaped fabric typical of hammered electrum coinage of this period. |
