| Reverse description | A recumbent lion facing left occupies the central field, his head turned to confront the viewer with open jaws, the mane rendered in fine striated detail. Between the lion's forepaws rests a ball or globular object, and to the right stands a kantharos (drinking vessel), the civic emblem of Kyzikos. The encircling legend ΚΥΞΙΚΗΝΩΝ ('of the Kyzikenes') runs along the upper periphery in bold Greek capitals, asserting civic authority. |
