| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate and bearded head of Zeus facing left, rendered in fine archaic style with long flowing hair depicted in carefully incised parallel strands; a sceptre is visible behind the neck truncation. The portrait displays strong plastic modeling typical of fourth-century BC Lampsakene coinage, with the laurel wreath rendered in naturalistic detail against a smooth field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Lampsakos, situated on the eastern shore of the Hellespont, controlled one of the most strategically critical crossing points between Europe and Asia, and its gold stater series reflects the enormous toll revenues the city collected from that position. These coins circulated widely as a trusted high-value medium across the Greek world and into Persia, with Lampsakene staters explicitly named in fourth-century treaties and mercenary payment records.
The type referenced by Baldwin La#29 belongs to the mature phase of the series, when the city was nominally under Persian suzerainty but retained effective monetary autonomy — an arrangement that suited both parties given Lampsakos's role in facilitating Aegean trade.
