Here once more the same coin and next to it a coin with a similar
head. Below them a contemporary head of Pharnabazos, an important
satrap of ancient Persia. I have no idea whether this picture has
to be considered as a portrait or not. The engraver wanted to make
a point that this is Pharnabazos, proven by the inscription Pharnaba
behind the head. This is a local coin of Kyzikos, as shown by the
prow and tunny-fish of Kyzikos.
