| Obverse description | Forepart of a bearded male figure — likely a river god or satyr — depicted in left-facing profile, rendered in high relief against a plain field. The subject displays pronounced archaic stylization, with carefully detailed wavy beard and furrowed brow. A tunny fish, the civic emblem of Kyzikos, appears in the lower left field, serving as a mintmark. The overall design exhibits the bold, compact artistry characteristic of Kyzikene electrum coinage of the late Archaic period. |
