Lysimachus struck these tetradrachms in his own name only after 306 BC, when the Successors collectively adopted royal titles following Antigonus's lead. The Magnesia mint — on the Maeander, not to be confused with Magnesia ad Sipylum — became one of several Asian workshops he activated to fund continuous campaigning across Thrace, Asia Minor, and the Aegean. His kingdom collapsed almost immediately after his death at the Battle of Corupedium in 281 BC, fought against Seleucus I, making this a coinage of notably compressed duration despite its wide geographic production.
