背面描述	Forepart of the winged horse Pegasus striding to the right, with outstretched forelegs and furled wings raised above the back, rendered in a lively and energetic style typical of Greek civic coinage of the 4th–3rd centuries BC. A six-pointed star or rosette appears in the lower left field below the figure, serving as a mint symbol or control mark. The design fills the flan with no encircling legend, consistent with the small module of this fractional silver issue. The irregular flan edges are characteristic of hand-struck hammered coinage of the period.

附加信息	Lampsakos sat at the narrowest point of the Hellespont, and its mint's prosperity was almost entirely a function of geography — every grain ship moving from the Black Sea to Athens, every Persian satrap paying troops, every Macedonian commander resupplying passed through waters the city controlled. The diobol's two-century production window likely reflects the city's remarkable continuity of commercial importance across successive Achaemenid, Macedonian, and eventually Seleucid overlords, each of whom found it expedient to leave the mint's output largely undisturbed.
