I've seen a couple of coins from Lampsakos with female Janiform heads. However no deity name was given.

So true, Jim. Greek artisans produced some truly stunning portraits. Clearly evidenced by the examples provided by numismatic student in the above response-post. Can you choose a more apt depiction of 'duality' than a male and female Janic portrait? Brilliant!

Much more modest than the beautiful Tetradrachm from Tenedos, here is a drachm from Tenedos (5rd - 4th centuries BC) and a tetrobol from Lampsakos (4th - 3rd centuries BC)

Absolutely beeeeautiful! The portraits are awesome! Very easy to see why these coins fetch the prices they do. Thank you for the contribution, ancient67!
