Watch List notes:

MYSIA, Cyzicus. Commodus. AD 177-192. Æ Medallion (41mm, 35.04 g, 12h). Struck circa AD 191-192. AV KAI [Λ] M AV KOMMOΔ[O]C AN[T CЄB ЄVC ЄVT POMAIOC HP]AKΛHC, laureate bust right, with lion's skin tied around neck, club over shoulder / NЄ-O[K]O-[PΩN] KVZIKHNΩ[N], two large baskets containing branches and set on tall stands, each being raised by three men holding supports; two additional men standing on supports, two altars or bases before baskets, star-in-crescent above each basket. Unpublished in the standard references, but see RPC Online temp. no. 9689 for a similar piece in Vienna. For the same obverse die, see SNG Henterian 1213. Fine, rough brown surfaces, pierced. Extremely rare and possibly unique. A highly interesting type.

This type cannot be adequately explained, but must refer to some local myth or cult practice. The Vienna piece shares the same reverse scene but is smaller and must be earlier in date, with a younger portrait shown laureate, draped, and cuirassed.
