| 正面描述 | Diademed and heroically idealized head of the deified Alexander the Great facing right, wearing the horn of Ammon curling behind the ear — a divine attribute alluding to his claimed descent from Zeus-Ammon. The hair is rendered in characteristic Hellenistic style with deeply engraved flowing locks swept back from the forehead and cascading over the neck. The diadem, symbol of royal authority, is tied across the brow with its ends trailing behind. The portrait displays the fine, high-relief workmanship typical of later posthumous Lysimachean coinage struck at Byzantion. |

| 背面描述 | Athena Nikephoros seated left upon a throne adorned with ornamental decoration, her left arm resting on a large round shield set against the seat, a transverse spear visible in the background field. In her right hand she holds Nike, the goddess of victory, who faces left. The legend ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΛΥΣΙΜΑΧΟΥ runs around the upper and outer field, reading 'of King Lysimachus.' A monogram appears in the inner left field, the civic abbreviation ΒΥ (for Byzantion) is inscribed on the throne, and an ornamented trident — the civic badge of Byzantion — occupies the exergue. |

Byzantion's posthumous tetradrachms struck in the name of Lysimachus — who had died at Corupedium in 281 BC, fully a century before these coins were produced — reflect the extraordinary commercial longevity of that royal type. The Alexander-derived coinage bearing Lysimachus's name had become effectively a trade currency around the Black Sea and Propontis, trusted by merchants long after any political connection to the man himself had dissolved. Byzantion, sitting astride one of the ancient world's most lucrative straits tolls, had strong incentive to issue a recognized, high-weight silver denomination rather than promoting its own civic types.
