| Beschrijving voorzijde | Diademed head of Alexander the Great facing right, rendered in the heroic Hellenistic portrait tradition, with the distinctive horn of Ammon curling above his right ear — an iconographic device asserting divine descent from Zeus-Ammon. The fillet of the diadem trails behind the neck, and the portrait exhibits the characteristic upward gaze and tousled hair associated with official Lysimachean coinage. The field is plain, with no legend on the obverse. |

Lysimachus struck these tetradrachms at Amphipolis — a mint he seized from the Macedonian kingdom — during the final decade of his reign, when he controlled both Thrace and Macedonia simultaneously. The consolidation was short-lived. His alliance with Pyrrhus of Epirus collapsed, his son Agathocles was executed on suspicion of treason, and Lysimachus himself died at the Battle of Corupedium in 281 BC fighting Seleucus I. The Amphipolis mint ceased production under his name almost immediately after.
The Müller gap for this piece reflects ongoing attribution disputes that remain unresolved in the specialist literature.
