GREEK COINS
Mysia
Lampsakos. Mid 4th century BC. Drachm (Silver, 14mm, 3.10 g 11), 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. Slightly porous, otherwise, 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 mint in the Troad, most likely Lampsakos.
