| Reverse description | Lion's head facing left with open jaws and protruding tongue, rendered in bold high relief characteristic of Kyzikene coinage. A tunny fish swims to the left beneath the lion's head, serving as the civic emblem of Kyzikos and a recurring type-symbol on its coinage. A pileus (conical cap) appears behind the lion's head in the field. The abbreviated civic legend ΚΥ ΞΙ is inscribed in the field, denoting the issuing city of Kyzikos. The composition is energetic and well-organised within the coin's irregular flan. |
