| Beschrijving keerzijde | Quadripartite incuse square of mill-sail or windmill pattern, deeply recessed and divided by a raised cross bar into four alternately raised and sunken rectangular compartments, a standard reverse type for early Kyzikene electrum staters produced by the punch technique. The incuse is bold and regular, testimony to the accomplished die-cutting of the Kyzikene mint. No legend or inscription is present. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Kyzikos dominated electrum coinage in the Aegean world for over two centuries, and its staters functioned as a de facto international trade currency across Greek, Persian, and Thracian markets simultaneously. The city's access to electrum — likely sourced via trade connections with Lydia — allowed it to sustain an output no rival mint could match. Each emission carried a unique obverse type, which is why the SNG von Aulock corpus runs to thousands of entries for this single issuing city.
The alloy composition of Kyzikenian staters was closely regulated, maintaining a gold-to-silver ratio that traders recognized and trusted without assaying.
