Lysimachos struck these coins after 297 BC at Lysimacheia, the city he founded on the Thracian Chersonese, partly as a practical mint for his western territories and partly as a deliberate act of dynastic self-promotion. The posthumous portrait of Alexander he chose for the obverse was a calculated political statement — by the 290s, Lysimachos was one of the last surviving Diadochoi, and associating himself with Alexander's image helped legitimize a kingship he had only assumed in 306 BC.
He was killed at the Battle of Corupedium in 281 BC, fighting Seleukos I, ending his dynasty in a single afternoon.
