| Beschrijving keerzijde | Zeus Aëtophoros enthroned in three-quarter left view, his muscular torso nude, his lower body draped. In his outstretched right hand he holds an eagle facing left with wings folded, while his left hand rests upon a tall sceptre. The throne is plain and sturdy. In the left field a serpent-staff (caduceus or thyrsus-like symbol) serves as a mint control mark. The letter 'A' appears beneath the throne as an additional control mark, characteristic of the Lampsakos mint. The Greek legend ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ runs vertically along the right field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Struck at Lampsakos on the Hellespont in the years immediately following Alexander's death in Babylon, this issue falls within the chaotic first phase of the Wars of the Diadochi, when his generals were still nominally minting in his name while fighting over the empire he left without a designated heir. Lampsakos was a strategically vital mint — controlling access between the Aegean and the Black Sea — and changed hands more than once during these conflicts.
Price 1372 is identifiable by its specific control marks, the details that separate one Lampsacene emission from another in an otherwise visually uniform series.
