| Reverse description | A biga (two-horse chariot) galloping vigorously to the right, with the horses shown at full stride in a dynamic composition typical of Macedonian gold stater reverse types. Below the horses, a facing head of Helios is depicted, radiating energy. The legend ΦΙΛΙΠΠΟΥ appears in the field, with the ligate monogram ΑΠ — the mint mark of Lampsakos — positioned below or beside the chariot group. The overall design reflects the accomplished die-cutting tradition of the Lampsakos mint during the posthumous issue period. |
