Mysia, Kyzikos. Electrum Stater (15.98 g), ca. 550-500 BC. Nude youth crouching left, holding crested Corinthian helmet in outstretched hand and sword at his waist; below, tunny left. Reverse: Quadripartite incuse square. Von Fritze 34; SNG BN -. Some marks and abrasions along with a natural planchet crack at 4:00 Very rare type. Very Fine.

Situated adjacent to the mouth of the river Aisepos on the southwest shore of the Propontis, Kyzikos was purported to be the first in a long line of Milesian colonies. The city possessed two fine harbors, both contributing greatly to its growth and prosperity. Traders plying the routes between the Aegean and Black Seas often stopped at Kyzikos to load tunnies, a main export as the fish were plentiful in the waters thereabouts.

The significance of the types on Kyzikos' electrum coinage of the 5th and 4th centuries BC often elude us. Unlike the types found on the coinage of other cities which nearly always reference some important aspect of the issuing city and are ripe with meaning, the many diverse types found on Kyzikene coinage often have no apparent association to the cults, mythology or historical events of the city. The only consistent image is the tunny, and nearly always as an adjunct to the main type and seemingly of secondary importance. Because of this and the volume of trade transiting the borders, which of course affected nearly every aspect of life in the city, it has been suggested that the types perhaps derived from designs on Greek vases and other artworks that circulated in trade throughout the area. This is an interesting hypothesis with significant merit, and if correct would seem to be a phenomenon unique in Greek coinage.

Troas, Gergis (?). Silver Diobol (1.42 g), 5th-4th centuries BC. Sphinx seated left, forepaw raised. Reverse: Facing gorgoneion within incuse square. Cf. Triton XVI, 437 (hemidrachm), otherwise unpublished. Toned. Choice Very Fine.

The pairing of stylistically similar gorgon reverses from Abydos and Kebren with their respective city badges as the obverse type provides a parallel with this coin. The city badge of Gergis was the sphinx, and appears subsequently on coins from the city. The comment in the Triton catalogue makes an astute observation: "the existence of now three cities in the Troad striking a common coinage suggests that there may have been a monetary alliance or symmachy in existence among them."
