Watch List notes:

MYSIA, Lampsakos. Mid 4th century BC. Drachm (Silver, 14mm, 3.18 g 6), Pseudo-Rhodian type, Memnon of Rhodes. Youthful head of Helios to left on radiate solar disk. Rev. M - E Rose with buds to either side. Ashton, Memnon 26. SNG Copenhagen 913 (Rhodes). SNG von Aulock 2769 (Megiste). Rare. Nicely toned and with a charming head of Helios. Very fine.


This series has been attributed to various mints such as Rhodes, Megiste and others. By taking into account recent hoard evidence, Ashton proposed a reattribution of the issue to a Troas mint, likely Lampsakos.
