| Aanvullende informatie |
Lysimachos died at the Battle of Corupedium in 281 BC, defeated by Seleucus I, yet his coinage kept circulating and being struck in his name for decades afterward. Cities across Asia Minor and Thrace continued issuing tetradrachms bearing his type well into the second century BC — a posthumous currency so widespread and trusted that it functionally outlasted his kingdom by generations.
Thompson's corpus remains the standard reference, identifying issues by mint city, monogram, and control marks rather than by ruler, since no living king was authorizing these coins.
