Hello partners.
You can tell me what weight system the city of Kyzikos used for the minting of its silver coin during the archaic period.
Thank you.

Hello,
Kyzikos, as a Milesian colony, has adopted the Milesian standard so roughly 14.1g to the stater.
The Archaic silver coinage is contemporaneous of the archaic electrum one (Babelon I p.389)
As far as i know, only 4 staters in billon are known (W. 14.2 g on average) Von Fritze 1, Babelon 654
It's hard to know the exact denominations of the fractions but the most common type, "tunny left" ( Von Fritze 5) is on average 0.55g so it should be a 1/24th, an obol if you assume that the stater is a tetradrachm.
the types "tunny head" (Von Fritze 2 and 3) seem slightly heavier could be light 1/12th (they are tri-hemioboles for Babelon)
few smaller denominations exist e.g. Rosen 516 1/48th or Tetartemorion
even 1/96th ? cf  Peus e-auction 8 lot 81
