Stater

Lampsakos was among the most prolific producers of gold staters in the eastern Aegean during the fourth century, operating under Persian suzerainty before Alexander's campaign swept through Mysia in 334. The city's gold coinage is notable for the sheer variety of its types — no two issues share the same reverse design, a minting practice almost without parallel in the Greek world and one that numismatists still have no fully satisfying explanation for.

The unresolved Baldwin reference here is characteristic of the series: classification remains contested, with specimens frequently surfacing that resist clean attribution to established sequences.
