| Beschrijving voorzijde | Diademed head of the deified Alexander the Great facing right, portrayed with the ram's horn of Zeus-Ammon curling over his right ear, a divine attribute asserting his semi-divine status. The portrait is rendered in the refined Hellenistic style characteristic of posthumous Lysimachan coinage, with flowing hair beneath the diadem and idealized facial features. The field is generally plain, with no surrounding legend on the obverse. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Lysimachus began issuing tetradrachms bearing the deified image of Alexander only after securing his claim to Macedonia in 288 BC — a deliberate political move to legitimize rule over territory he had seized from Pyrrhus of Epirus. The Amphipolis mint was central to this campaign, producing some of the most carefully executed strikes in the entire series. These coins were still being struck, and widely imitated, long after Lysimachus died at the Battle of Corupedium in 281 BC, which makes precise attribution of late issues to his lifetime a persistent problem for specialists.
