Kyzikos, Mysia, c. 450 - 400 B.C.
|Cyzicus|, |Kyzikos,| |Mysia,| |c.| |450| |-| |400| |B.C.|, These very small fractions always weigh less than the theoretical weight for the denomination. They were often struck significantly below the theoretical weight. Wear, corrosion and porosity have usually further reduced the weight over time. They may even weigh less than half their theoretical weight. Assigning the denomination during attribution is often speculative.
