| Beschrijving voorzijde | Diademed head of the deified Alexander III facing right, portrayed with the ram's horn of Ammon curling behind his ear, identifying him as the divine son of Zeus-Ammon. The portrait displays the characteristic idealized Hellenistic style, with the diadem rendered in fine detail against a smooth field. The effigy follows the posthumous iconographic tradition established by Lysimachos to legitimize his rule through association with Alexander the Great. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Lysimachos died at the Battle of Corupedium in 281 BC, defeated by Seleukos I, yet gold staters bearing his name and image continued to be struck for decades afterward across cities throughout Asia Minor. This is a posthumous issue — not a forgery, but a deliberate political choice by successor cities and dynasts who found his authority still commercially useful long after his death.
The type enjoyed remarkable longevity as a trusted trade coin in the Aegean and Black Sea regions precisely because its weight standard was consistent and its gold reliable.
