| Additional information |
Lampsakos occupied a commanding position on the eastern shore of the Hellespont, and its gold staters — struck across roughly five decades bracketed by the King's Peace and Alexander's crossing into Asia — reflect the city's wealth drawn from controlling traffic through that strait. The mint was productive enough that Lampsakene staters circulated widely as a trusted trade currency across the Aegean and into the Black Sea region, functioning almost as an international reserve coinage in the fourth century.
After 334 BC, Macedonian conquest effectively ended the autonomous civic series.
