Commentary
Exemplaire de couleur pâle. Nous n’avons pas relevé d’identité de coin pertinente, cependant ce type reste très rare. Notre exemplaire est proche par le style et la composition de l’exemplaire du trésor de Myrmekion, pl. 2/31.
Pale-colored example. We have not found any relevant die identity, however this type remains very rare. Our example is close in style and composition to the example from the Myrmekion hoard, pl. 2/31

Historical background
MYSIA – KYZIKOS / CYZICUS
(6th - 5th century BC)
Cyzicus, a colony of Miletus founded in the 8th century BC, is located on the edge of the Propontis on the island of Arktonnesos. Its political and economic situation was preponderant between Pont-Euxin and the Aegean Sea by controlling the Propontis at the outlet of the Hellespont. Coinage began at the end of the 7th century BC. An important electrum coinage was minted between 600 and 330 BC with the tuna as its symbol.
