Tetradrachm In the name of Lysimachus, Cyzicus

Lysimachus died at the Battle of Corupedium in 281 BC, yet coins bearing his name and deified portrait continued to be struck for generations afterward — a political tool adopted by successor cities seeking legitimacy through association with a recognized Macedonian king. Cyzicus, a wealthy and commercially aggressive mint on the Propontis, was among the most prolific producers of these posthumous issues.

The absence of a Müller reference number suggests this piece falls outside the catalogued die sequences, which for Cyzicus already run into the hundreds.
