Ex Triton VI (14 January 2003), lot 295.
Hurter and Liewald question the attribution of this issue to Kyzikos, noting that although they are clearly struck on the correct weight standard, elements of the style, particularly the form of the incuse and the presence of a dotted border, are foreign to the mint during this period.
