| Beschrijving keerzijde | A bridled horse standing to right with its left foreleg raised in a prancing posture, evoking the city's legendary equestrian heritage. To the right along the ground line, a single-handled oenochoe (pitcher) serves as a magistrate's symbol. The entire type is encircled by a laurel wreath. The reverse legend, reading ΚΥΜΑΙΩΝ ΚΑΛΛΙΑΣ, identifies the issuing city and the magistrate responsible for the issue. |

Kyme was the largest and most prosperous of the Aeolian cities, and by the mid-second century BC it had settled into a comfortable accommodation with Roman power following the defeat of Antiochus III at Magnesia in 190 BC. The magistrate name Kallias appearing on this issue is attested across multiple die pairs catalogued by Oakley, suggesting a relatively productive office term rather than a single brief emission.
The coin's weight places it squarely within the Attic standard Kyme adopted for its silver — a deliberate choice signaling commercial alignment with wider Aegean trade networks at a moment when cistophoric coinage was beginning to dominate Asia Minor's monetary circulation.
