| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate head of Apollo facing left, rendered in fine fourth-century Greek style with elegantly detailed hair bound by a laurel wreath, loose locks falling to the neck. The facial features are delicately modeled with a smooth cheek and refined profile characteristic of Sicilian-influenced die engraving. The field is plain and unlettered, with the bust truncated at the neck filling the flan. |

Damastion was a short-lived silver-mining settlement in the northern Macedonian hinterland whose precise location remains disputed among scholars — candidates range across modern Albania, North Macedonia, and Serbia. Its coinage was almost certainly produced to pay for imported labor and equipment rather than for general trade, which explains the concentrated typology and the relatively tight date range before the settlement was absorbed into the expanding Macedonian sphere under Philip II.
