| Beschrijving keerzijde | Athena Nikephoros seated left upon a throne, her left arm resting on a large round shield decorated with a facing gorgoneion, while a transverse spear rises diagonally in the background behind her. In her extended right hand she holds a small Nike (Victory) figure. An aphlaston (naval trophy) appears in the outer left field, and a monogram is placed in the inner left field. The Greek legend ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΛΥΣΙΜΑΧΟΥ ('of King Lysimachus') runs along the right side of the field, asserting royal authority in the standard formulaic titulature of the Diadochi. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Lysimachus began issuing tetradrachms bearing the deified image of Alexander the Great as a deliberate political act — he had served as one of Alexander's bodyguards and understood the propaganda value of that association better than most of the Diadochi. The Lampsakos mint was among the most prolific in his kingdom, positioned on the Hellespont where it could draw on trade revenues and control coinage flowing between Asia and Europe.
Lysimachus was killed at the Battle of Corupedium in 281 BC, and posthumous issues of this type continued circulating widely for generations — so widely that later mints across the Greek world struck imitations well into the 2nd century BC.
