| Reverse description | Ithyphallic cult statue of Priapus, bearded and standing left upon a rectangular base, depicted in the archaic xoanon style characteristic of his worship at Lampsacus.

The ethnic legend ΛΑΜΨΑΚΗΝΩΝ is inscribed around the reverse field, identifying the issuing city. The composition reflects the importance of the Priapus cult at Lampsacus, where the god was venerated as the city's principal deity. |
