Carr coll. William Greenwell, in his 1887 tome entitled: The electrum coinage of Cyzicus, notes that the helmet is the helmet of Hades lent to him by the nymphs. The reference by Greenwell is to the ‘mission’ of Perseus to cut-off the head of Medusa. The next coin in the Greenwell listing notes a type where much of the detail of this slaying is depicted – see Coin ID #14069. Kyzikos (BC 450-330) EL Hekte741 viewsca 450-330 BC.

Unusually well centered, gVF. Carr coll. The ‘Perseus’ emissions are known for denominations of stater through 1/96th. Most examples do not capture the whole ‘scene’ - commonly either the head of Perseus or Medusa being off the flan. This coin is possibly the second best published example capturing the major features [For an example that is even sharper in its detail, see Gemini IX (1/2012) lot 105].1 comments Kyzikos (BC 600-550) EL Stater740 viewsca 600-550 BC.

Head of Attis (Atys) facing right, wearing Phyrgian cap [below tuna right?] / Quadripartite incuse square. nEF. Carr coll. Known type for a stater (at least 10 sold at auction, see Coin ID #9333 and #6817), hekte (1/6th Stater) (at least 12 sold at auction, see Coin ID #9330 and #9332), hemihekte (1/12th Stater) (at least 9 sold at auction, see Coin ID #9329) and Myshemihekte (1/24th Stater) (at least 6 sold at auction, see Coin ID #11022). In some instances, it appears that the die for the stater was used on hekte and, as such, the tuna is off the flan. This example is from an unknown die. In some cases, Attis is wearing a conspicuously jeweled Phyrgian cap (see Coin ID #9332) and in others, the jewels are less conspicuous or absent.1 comments Kyzikos (BC 550-500) EL 1/6 Stater 611 viewsca 550-500 BC.

NGC graded Choice XF, strike 5/5, surface 4/5, nicely centered, struck from artistic dies. An excellent example of archaic representation of local deity from Asia Minor. Carr coll. A remarkable mythological type usually known from the stater with the same design. At times identified as Phobos, the personification of terror, the figure may also be the Mithraic divinity Areimanios (Ahriman) as argued by Bivar, "Mithra and Mesopotamia," Mithraic Studies (Manchester, 1975), pp. 275-89. Kyzikos (BC 500-450) EL Stater607 viewsca 500-450 BC. EL Stater (17mm, 16.04g). Nude youth kneeling left, right hand holding tunny by its tail / Quadripartite incuse square. VF, lightly toned.

Prow of galley left terminating in forepart of winged hound or wolf; below, tunny left / Quadripartite incuse square. VF. Rare denomination for this type with only one other known - Gemini IX (1/2012), lot 103. Unpublished in standard references. Carr coll. William Greenwell, in his 1887 tome entitled "The electrum coinage of Cyzicus," notes only a stater of this type and offers the following speculation: "The expedition of the Argonauts plays an important part in the mythical history of Cyzicus, and the prow represented on the stater is probably that of the ship Argo" (pp. 124-125). See also Coin ID #13239 for a hekte. Kyzikos (BC 600-550) EL Stater434 viewsca 600-550 BC. EL Stater (16.08g, 19mm). Tunny fish left above tunny fish right / Quadripartite incuse square. VF.

EL Hekte – Sixth Stater (9mm, 2.68g). Forepart of lion left, head right; to right, tunny downward / Quadripartite incuse square. VF, lightly toned, struck from slightly worn dies.

Youthful male figure, holding Corinthian helmet in right hand, sword in left, kneeling left on tunny fish / Quadripartite incuse square. VF. Carr coll. William Greenwell, in his 1887 tome entitled "The electrum coinage of Cyzicus," notes: “Mr. Head in his paper on the coins of the find of 1875 (Num. Chron., N.S., xvi, p. 282), suggests that this figure may be one of the Argonauts, and the attribution is not improbable, the mythical history of Cyzicus being closely connected with their expedition.” Coin ID #13239 and #13744 of Kyzicus also reflect a connection with the Argonauts. Kyzikos (BC 550-500) EL 1/6 Stater394 viewsca 550-500 BC. EL Hekte – 1/6 Stater (2.7g, 10mm). Head of cock facing right, holding head of tunny / Quadripartite incuse square. Very fine, very rare.

This is the second of two known that have been offered at auction. This obverse has very close links to other coinage of a similar period. Early drachmae of Velia have a similar type. Colin M. Kraay [Archaic and Classical Greek Coins (1976), p. 263] comments on the connection of the drachmae and this Kyzikos example, noting the rarity of deliberate reproductions of specific coin types across cities. An almost identical type is also to be found on a hecte emission of Mytilene (Bodenstedt 78 – see, on this website, Coin ID #11257; see also Coin ID #12346). Kyzikos (BC 600-550) EL 1/12380 viewsca 600­-550 BC. EL Hemihekte - Twelfth Stater (8mm, 1.34g). Eagle standing right on tunny right; to upper left, tunny right / Quadripartite incuse square. VF. Kyzikos (BC 550-500) EL 1/6 Stater380 viewsca 550­-500 BC. EL Hekte - Sixth Stater (10mm, 2.63g). Head of panther facing; tunny to left / Quadripartite incuse square.Good VF. Very rare variant. This issue is not only unusual for the placement of the tunny on the left of the facing head, but also for the shape of the ear on the feline. Typically, the ear is depicted, on all denominations of von Fritze 43, with pointed ears, where here they are rounded. Although this is likely the result of the liberty of the engraver, one wonders whether this might be an attempt to depict a totally different animal, such as a bear. Kyzikos (BC 500-450) EL 1/6 Stater378 viewsca 500­-450 BC. EL Hekte - Sixth Stater (10mm, 2.75g). Wolf at bay left on tunny left / Quadripartite incuse square. Good VF.

Head of Athena left, wearing crested Attic helmet, base of crest decorated with zig-zag and pellet pattern; tunny fish left below / Quadripartite incuse square. About EF. Carr coll. This coin is an example of hekte of a type known as a stater – see Coin ID #14563. In addition, examples are known for fractions of 1/12 and 1/24 stater with the hektes being the more abundant example of which at least 20 are known. Head in his 1887 tome, “Historia Nummorum” (figure 271) was an early reference to this type. Kyzikos (BC 600-550) EL 1/12 Stater357 viewsca 600-550 BC. EL Hemihekte – Twelfth Stater (7.5mm, 1.34g).
