| Beschrijving voorzijde | Draped bust of a youthful male deity facing right, identified as a deified Alexander the Great or Dionysus, wearing a taenia or diadem bound in the hair with wavy locks falling to the neck. The effigy is rendered in fine Hellenistic style, with naturalistic facial features, a straight nose, and full lips. The field is plain, with no surrounding legend, the portrait filling the flan in the Alexandrine tradition characteristic of early Hellenistic successor coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Amastris, the city, was named after Amastris the woman — niece of Darius III, widow of Dionysius of Heraclea, and briefly wife of Lysimachus before he had her drowned around 284 BC at the instigation of his sons. She had founded the city herself circa 300 BC by synoikizing four smaller Pontic settlements, and this stater belongs to the tight window between that founding and her murder. The coinage is her civic project made tangible.
