| Beschrijving keerzijde | Zeus Aetophoros enthroned left on a low stool-throne, his upper body nude, himation draped across his lap and legs. He extends his right hand forward, upon which an eagle stands with closed wings, while his left hand grasps a long upright sceptre. In the left field, a dolphin swimming left appears above a lion forepart left, serving as mint control symbols. A torch is positioned beneath the throne. The primary legend ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ runs to the right of the enthroned figure, identifying the issue in the name of Alexander III. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Lampsacus, a prosperous Greek city on the Hellespont's eastern shore, was one of the most prolific mints issuing coinage in the name of Alexander III long after his death. Lysimachus — one of Alexander's bodyguards turned king — exploited this convention deliberately, issuing "Alexander-type" coinage to project continuity and legitimacy across his Thracian and Anatolian territories. The var. designation against Price 1438 suggests a die combination not fully catalogued in Price's 1991 corpus, which remains the standard reference despite known gaps in its Lampsacus coverage.
