| Obverse description | Bearded male head in right-facing profile, crowned with an ivy wreath, executed in fine archaic high relief characteristic of Kyzikene electrum coinage. The facial features display the stylised yet naturalistic rendering typical of late archaic Greek die-cutting. Below the neck truncation, the civic emblem of Kyzikos — a tunny fish (Thunnus thynnus) — is depicted swimming to the left, serving as the standard series identifier for this emission. The field is otherwise plain, with no legend or inscription. |
