Ancient electrum coins represent the early era of coinage used by human civilizations. Electrum is a naturally occurring gold-silver alloy that was used by civilizations such as the Greeks before gold and silver became the foundation of separate denominations. This Mysia Cyzicus EL Stater comes from this early era of human currency and features a Very Fine grade from the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC). Right now, the Mysia Cyzicus EL Stater is available at JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
This Mysia Cyzicus EL Stater Coin boasts a Very Fine designation from the NGC. The most impressive aspects of this piece are its strike and surface grades. The 5/5 grade for strike indicates design elements that are strongly struck and well-centered, while the 5/5 surface grade means that the coin shows very little wear and tear from handling or circulation.
Cyzicus, a prosperous Greek city situated on the southern shore of the Propontis, the modern-day Sea of Marmara, in Mysia, was one of the ancient world’s most prolific and celebrated issuers of electrum coinage. The staters produced there between approximately 550 and 440 BC represent a remarkable chapter in the history of early Greek monetary culture. While the tunny fish, or tuna, was a staple in the design of these coins, the reverse visuals are known to have changed several times during the height of Cyzicene electrum stater production.
The obverse of Mysia Cyzicus EL Stater comes with a depiction of a harpy in left-profile relief, with the figure holding a tunny fish upright. On the reverse of the Cyzicene EL Stater, you will find a quartered design element. These coins were most commonly used by merchants in Cyzicus to pay for grain, timber, and everyday staples.
