| 正面描述 | Draped bust of Kore-Soteira facing left, rendered in fine high relief in the accomplished style of the late Classical period. The goddess wears her hair elaborately coiffed and gathered at the nape of the neck, adorned with a floral ornament. The legend ΣΩΤΕΙΡΑ (Saviour) appears partially visible along the upper field, identifying the deity. The modelling of the facial features — delicate profile, well-defined brow, and softly articulated drapery at the shoulder — reflects the sophisticated engraving tradition of Mysian Kyzikos. |

Kyzikos, the Propontic city on the southern shore of the Marmara, was unusual among Greek minting authorities in that its dominant coinage for centuries was electrum — the city's gold-rich electron staters were among the most widely circulated trade coins of the Aegean world from the sixth century onward. The shift to silver tetradrachms around 300 BC coincides with the broader collapse of electrum coinage as a credible trade medium following Macedonian monetary dominance in the region.
The Von Fritze classification remains the foundational die study for this series, published in 1912 and still unreplaced in terms of systematic coverage.
