| Beschrijving voorzijde | Diademed head of the deified Alexander the Great facing right, adorned with the horn of Ammon curling from beneath the diadem, rendered in the idealized Hellenistic portrait style. The hair is depicted in thick, flowing locks swept back from the forehead and falling in voluminous waves behind the ear. A dotted border frames the design along the coin's periphery. The portrait exhibits fine high-relief workmanship characteristic of the Ephesian mint's output under Lysimachus. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Lysimachus began striking coins bearing the deified image of Alexander the Great around 297 BC, a calculated political move to legitimize his rule over territories he had held since the original partition at Triparadisus in 320 BC. The Ephesus mint was among the most productive in his western Anatolian holdings, a city whose commercial infrastructure he exploited heavily to fund ongoing conflicts with Demetrius Poliorcetes and, later, Pyrrhus of Epirus.
Lysimachus was killed at the Battle of Corupedium in 281 BC, and the Ephesus mint ceased production for him shortly before that — issues from this terminal phase are notably less common than earlier Lampsacus output.
