| Reverse description | Within a circular incuse square, the head of a lion facing left with open jaws and protruding tongue, rendered in bold high relief. Beneath the lion's head, a tuna fish is depicted horizontally, serving as the civic badge of Kyzikos and a persistent device on its coinage. To the right, a crested Corinthian helmet faces left. The ethnic legend ΚΥΞΙΚΗΝΩΝ appears within the incuse field. The overall design is characteristic of the later series of Kyzikene silver coinage, combining faunal and martial symbols in a tightly composed incuse format. |
