| Beschrijving keerzijde | A bridled horse stands to right with its near foreleg raised, depicted in a naturalistic Hellenistic rendering against a plain field. To the right, the ethnic legend KYMAIΩN is inscribed vertically. Beneath the horse, an oenochoe (wine jug) serves as a civic symbol, while in the exergue the magistrate's name OΛYMΠIOΣ identifies the issuing authority. The entire composition is enclosed within a wreath of laurel or olive, forming a distinctive border characteristic of Kymaean tetradrachms of this period. |

Kyme was the largest and likely the wealthiest of the Aeolian cities, yet it struck coinage only sporadically — this magistrate series, identified by the name Olympios in the exergue, belongs to a concentrated burst of silver production in the mid-second century BC, probably linked to the economic disruptions following Rome's reorganization of Asia Minor after the Treaty of Apamea in 188 BC. The city had surrendered without resistance to Attalos I decades earlier and navigated Seleucid and then Roman dominance with notable flexibility.
The Oakley corpus documents only six dies for this magistrate's issues, suggesting a short and purposeful emission rather than sustained mint activity.
