| Additional information |
Lysimachus struck these tetradrachms in his own name only after 306 BC, when the Diadochi collectively adopted royal titles following Antigonus's lead at the Battle of Ipsus's prelude. The Magnesia mint was one of several Asian workshops brought under his control after the defeat and death of Antigonus at Ipsus in 301 BC, which handed Lysimachus a substantial portion of Asia Minor. He was killed at Corupedium in 281 BC fighting Seleucus I — the last of the original Diadochi wars — leaving his kingdom without a successor and this series without continuation.
