| Beschrijving voorzijde | Head of the deified Herakles facing right, wearing the Nemean lion scalp headdress, the lion's mane rendered in bold, flowing relief with the paws knotted at the neck. The portrait displays the characteristic heroic physiognomy of the Alexander III coinage tradition, with strong facial features, slightly parted lips, and curling locks visible beneath the scalp. The flan is broad and well-centred, with a plain inner border visible at the rim. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Lysimachus, who ruled Thrace after serving as one of Alexander's bodyguards, made the politically calculated decision to strike coinage in Alexander's name rather than his own — a practice he maintained for decades as a way of borrowing the dead conqueror's legitimacy. The Smyrna mint was brought under his control following his victories in western Asia Minor, and issues from this facility fall within the final years of his reign before his death at the Battle of Corupedium in 281 BC against Seleucus I.
Price 2246 is attributed to Smyrna on the basis of specific control marks.
