| Beschrijving voorzijde | Diademed head of the deified Alexander the Great facing right, rendered in high relief with finely detailed flowing locks of hair swept back from the forehead. A small but distinct ram's horn of Ammon curves above the ear, signifying Alexander's divine association with Zeus-Ammon. The portrait displays idealised Hellenistic artistry, with strong facial features, a prominent brow, and sensitively modelled flesh. A dotted border encircles the design. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Lysimachus minted these tetradrachms at Lampsacus — one of his most productive western Anatolian mints — partly to fund the constant military expenditure of holding territory against rival Diadochi. The Lampsacene issues are distinguished from other mint outputs within this series and appear in SNG France with only selective representation, suggesting the surviving population, while not rare, is not uniformly distributed across collections.
Lysimachus died at the Battle of Corupedium in 281 BC, fighting Seleucus I, ending Thracian dynastic coinage from this authority abruptly. Posthumous issues using his types continued for generations, making confirmed lifetime strikes from documented mints the more historically precise acquisition.
