Mystery archaic silver fraction. While the tunny is typical of Kyzikos, it is not clear whether there should be anything above it in the design (if so, would be off the flan), and in any case, such types are more typical for electrum issues. Bold and sharp strike, as well as unusually good archaic silver, with minimal porosity.
