| Additional information |
Sestos controlled the narrowest point of the Hellespont, and its civic coinage reflects the toll-collecting authority the city exercised over maritime traffic between the Aegean and the Black Sea. The SNG Copenhagen 935 variant designation suggests a die difference from the principal specimen — likely obverse or reverse die pairing — though the precise distinction requires direct comparison against the Copenhagen example.
