Hurter & Liewald placed this issue in a section of coins “associated to Kyzikos”, as they doubted the attribution based on characteristics of the striking. Of course, the four examples they knew of appeared on the market in isolation. However, more of these have recently come to market alongside contemporary issues definitively placed at Kyzikos, so the attribution to that city should be accepted.
