Kyzikos (BC 550-500) EL 1/6 Stater1217 viewsca 500-450. EL Hekte - 1/6 Stater. Facing head of Silenos with goat's ears and long beard; tunny fish swimming upwards to left and right / Quadripartite incuse square. Very rare. EF. Ex Muenzen und Medaillen 44 (6/1971), lot 12.
The head of Silenos on this coin very possibly served as the model for a silver issue of the slightly later Lykian dynast Teththiveibi, as BMC 88 and SNG Berry 1164.

This type is part of a sub-series of Kyzikene staters that depict a warrior, in this case an archer, in the various stages of preparing his equipment for battle (Von Fritze I 115-117). It is not known whether this sub-series depicts any particular hero from mythology.

Kyzikos (BC 334) EL Stater5151 viewsca 334 BC. EL Stater (16.02g, 12h). Eleutheria seated left on rock, holding wreath in right hand; tunny below, ΕΛΕΥ-ΘΕΡΙ in two lines on rock / Quadripartite incuse square. Good VF, toned. Extremely rare. Fielder Coll.
This specimen bears an inscription, 'Eleutheria" (Freedom), that makes clear the intent of the type: to celebrate a liberation. Several different victories have been suggested, but the presence of a coin of this type in the Prinkipo Hoard, buried circa 334 BC, in conjunction with gold staters of Philip II, clearly suggests that the victory in question is Alexander's first defeat of the Persians at the river Granikos in 334 BC. The Granikos was located just to the south and west of Kyzikos, and Alexander's victory liberated Kyzikos from Persian control. Thus, not only is this a very rare stater from Kyzikos, it also represents the first coin struck as a direct result of Alexander's campaign to conquer the world, predating even Alexander's own coinage.
