| Beschrijving keerzijde | Forepart of Pegasus, the winged horse, advancing to the right within a shallow incuse rectangle; the creature is depicted with forelegs raised and neck arched upward in a dynamic prancing pose. The elaborately feathered wings are spread prominently behind and above the equine body, rendered with crisp, deeply engraved detail characteristic of the accomplished Lampsakene die-cutting tradition. The incuse square, a vestige of early Greek coining technique, frames the design in the field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Lampsakos was among the most prolific issuers of gold staters in the Propontis region, operating under Persian suzerainty during most of this period — the city had been granted to Themistocles by Artaxerxes I decades earlier, and its access to Hellespontine trade routes kept its mint commercially active long after many neighboring cities had ceased gold production. The type referenced here falls within the city's classical series, struck before Alexander's campaign effectively ended autonomous western Anatolian coinage.
The Lampsakene stater circulated widely as a trusted trade coin, accepted well beyond its immediate region. Demosthenes mentions Lampsakene gold specifically in financial contexts, which speaks to the coin's recognized purity in fourth-century Aegean commerce.
