Stater In the name of Lysimachus

正面描述	Diademed head of the deified Alexander III facing right, rendered in fine Hellenistic style with flowing, elaborately curled hair secured by a diadem. A small but clearly visible horn of Ammon curls from behind the ear, signifying Alexander's divine identification with Zeus-Ammon. The portrait is executed with high relief and naturalistic detail, characteristic of posthumous regal coinage struck in Alexander's name. The field is plain, focusing full attention on the idealized heroic effigy.

附加信息	By the mid-second century BC, Lysimachus had been dead for over a century, yet his image continued to circulate on gold staters issued by cities across the Greek world seeking monetary credibility. Byzantion was among the most persistent issuers of these posthumous types — the city's position commanding the Bosphorus made reliable, recognizable gold coinage a commercial necessity, and the Lysimachean standard carried weight with merchants from the Black Sea to the Aegean. Marinescu's catalog documents significant variation among the Byzantion issues, with #384 representing a relatively late phase of production in this series.
