| 表面の説明 | Diademed head of the deified Alexander III facing right, portrayed with the ram's horn of Zeus-Ammon curling behind his ear, rendered in the Hellenistic tradition of divine portraiture. The hair is depicted in thick, flowing locks radiating from the crown, with fine engraving capturing individual curls framing the face. The diadem is tied at the back with trailing ends visible above the neck. The overall style is characteristic of posthumous coinage struck in the name of Lysimachus, combining the iconography of Alexander's deification with high-quality die-cutting. |

| 裏面の説明 | Athena Nikephoros seated left upon a throne, wearing helmet and aegis, her left arm resting on a large round shield set to her side, with a transverse spear visible in the background behind her. A Nike figure stands on her outstretched right hand, presenting a wreath. The ethnic ΒΥ appears below the throne identifying the Byzantion mint, while an ornate trident is placed in the exergue as a secondary mint symbol. A monogram occupies the inner left field. The full royal legend ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΛΥΣΙΜΑΧΟΥ runs along the right field, designating the coin as issued in the name of King Lysimachus. |

Byzantion's gold staters in the name of Lysimachus were struck well over a century after the Macedonian king's death at Corupedium in 281 BC — a deliberate act of monetary conservatism by a city that understood the commercial value of a trusted type. The posthumous Lysimachean stater had become the dominant gold currency across the Black Sea trade zone, and Byzantion, controlling the Bosphorus toll, had every economic incentive to keep issuing a recognizable coin regardless of who actually held power.
Marinescu 561 places this emission within a closely studied sequence of Byzantion's civic posthumous issues, distinguishable from regal and other municipal emissions by specific control marks.
