| Obverse description | Youthful female head facing left, hair bound with a slender taenia and neck encircled by a broad torque or collar bearing a central medallion; the effigy is set upon a circular disc, itself placed on the back of a tunny fish (thunnus) swimming to left, the tunny serving as the civic badge of Kyzikos. The rendering exhibits the refined Archaic-to-Classical transition style characteristic of the Kyzikene electrum series. |
