| Reverse description | Forepart of a roaring lion facing left, rendered in bold relief with finely detailed mane rendered in wavy striations and an open mouth with protruding tongue. The lion grasps a tunny fish (tuna) in its jaws, the tunny being the civic emblem of Kyzikos and a constant feature of the city's coinage. To the right, a vertical spear or staff is depicted alongside a small olive branch spray. The abbreviated ethnic legend ΚΥ ΞΙ appears in the field, denoting the issuing city of Kyzikos. |
