| Beschrijving voorzijde | Youthful bare head of Heracles facing right, the hero depicted without beard and adorned with the Nemean lion skin headdress, its scalp covering the crown and the forepaws knotted at the throat. The portrait is rendered in vigorous Hellenistic style with finely modelled facial features, curling locks escaping from beneath the pelt, and the lion's mane framing the cheek and neck. No legend appears on the obverse field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Lysimachus struck coins bearing the deified image of Alexander at mints across his expanding domain partly as a political claim — asserting himself as the legitimate heir to Alexander's memory and territory after the decisive Battle of Ipsus in 301 BC broke the diadoch coalition and left him controlling much of Asia Minor. Kolophon, an Ionian city with an established mint, came under his direct authority in this period. The gap in Müller's corpus for this piece suggests it was either unknown to him or recorded under a different attribution.
