Stater In the name of Alexander III, Lampsakos

Lampsakos, a strategically vital mint on the Hellespont, struck gold staters under Alexander's name both during his lifetime and for decades after his death in 323 BC. This issue falls within the immediate post-death window, produced under whatever authority controlled the Propontis region during the chaos of the First Diadoch War. Price 1374 places it firmly in the Lampsakos sequence distinguished by its specific control marks — details that allow attribution to this mint rather than the dozens of others issuing near-identical coinage across the collapsing empire.

Lampsakos had long mint experience before Alexander; it had struck electrum coinage for over a century prior.
