| Beschrijving keerzijde | Athena Nikephoros enthroned to the left, depicted in a dignified and stately pose characteristic of Hellenistic royal coinage. Her left arm rests upon a large round shield set at her side, while her extended right hand presents a winged Nike. A long diagonal spear is positioned behind her, leaning across the field. The royal legend ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΛΥΣΙΜΑΧΟΥ is disposed in the field to the right and left of the enthroned figure, identifying Lysimachus as king. A monogram appears in the inner left field and in the exergue, serving as a mint or magistrate control mark attributable to the Calchedon mint. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Kalchedon, positioned at the mouth of the Bosphorus, leveraged its geographic stranglehold on Black Sea trade to maintain an active mint well into the third century. These posthumous staters issued in the name of Lysimachus — the Macedonian general who had died at Corupedium in 281 BC — were a deliberate political currency, associating the issuing city with Macedonian prestige decades after Lysimachus himself was gone. Dozens of cities across the Aegean and Propontis did the same, making attribution to a specific mint dependent almost entirely on control marks and die linkage studies such as Marinescu's corpus.
