Lot # 158

Greek Asia. Mysia, Kyzikos. EL Stater, c. 500-400 BC. D/ Young Dionysos reclining left, holding kantharos in right hand and resting left elbow on panther's head; below, tuna right. R/ Quadripartite incuse square. Von Fritze, Nomisma VII, 155; SNG BN 302-303. EL. 15.95 g. 21.5 mm. About VF/VF. The Electrum coinage of Kyzikos was an important currency which hoard finds indicate was vital in the trade between Thrace and the northern coasts of the Black Sea and between Athens and Ionia. While the reverses of this issues retained the archaic characteristic of incuse punches, the obverses provided a rich variety of heraldic and mythological imagery.
