| Beschrijving keerzijde | The forepart of Pegasus, the winged horse of Greek mythology, depicted in dynamic flying posture to the right, with forelegs raised and neck arched. The large, elaborately feathered wing is rendered in fine, layered detail with individual quills incised with great care. The design is set within a shallow, slightly irregular incuse square typical of archaic and early classical hammered coinage. The field within the incuse square is otherwise blank, with no legend or mintmark. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Lampsakos, positioned on the Asian shore of the Hellespont, controlled one of the most strategically vital water passages in the ancient world, and its gold coinage reflects that leverage directly. The city minted prolifically in gold at a time when most Greek poleis relied on silver, a choice almost certainly tied to access to Lydian and Phrygian gold sources moving through its markets rather than any local mine. Persian satrapal influence over the Troad during this period made autonomous gold coinage here a pointed political statement.
The Baldwin and SNG France references place this piece within a well-documented but genuinely scarce series.
