Æ20

Alexandreia Troas was founded — or more precisely, synoikized from several smaller settlements including Antigoneia — by Antigonus I Monophthalmus around 306 BC, then refounded and renamed by Lysimachus following Antigonus's death at Ipsus in 301 BC. This coin falls squarely within that contested window, issued under a city whose very name and political allegiance were about to be erased and reassigned by the outcome of a single battle.

Bellinger's Troy series remains the essential reference for this coinage, with A28 representing one of the earlier civic bronzes produced before Lysimachus consolidated control over the Troad.
