| Reverse description | Athena standing facing left in the field, clad in chiton and aegis, extending her right hand to present a small Nike (winged Victory figurine) and resting her left arm upon a large round shield set at her side. The goddess is rendered in the standard provincial Hellenistic manner, with the divided legend disposed in two sections around the figure referencing the civic authority and the eponymous strategos responsible for the issue. |

Lampsacus, on the southern shore of the Hellespont, retained the right to strike bronze civic coinage under Trebonianus Gallus — a privilege that many Asian cities lost or never regained after the Severan period. The magistrate name recorded in the legend, Eutychion, anchors this piece administratively; his term as strategos likely overlapped the same two years Gallus spent fighting off both the Goths and a succession of rival claimants, leaving provincial administration largely to its own devices.
