A long spear leans against her left shoulder. In the left field, a bearded male head faces left, serving as a mint control symbol. The royal legend ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΛΥΣΙΜΑΧΟΥ runs along the right and upper fields. A monogram appears in the exergue, serving as a secondary mint or magistrate identifier. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Lysimachus, one of Alexander's bodyguards and later a Diadoch king, was among the first of Alexander's successors to place Alexander's deified image on his coinage — a calculated political move that positioned him as the legitimate heir to Macedonian power in western Asia Minor. The uncertain Lydian attribution for this issue reflects ongoing scholarly debate; several mints operated under Lysimachus in the region simultaneously, and die-link studies have yet to produce consensus on precise attribution for this reference number.
Lysimachus was killed at the Battle of Corupedium in 281 BC, and his kingdom dissolved almost immediately — leaving this coinage as the sole numismatic output of a polity that lasted barely a generation.
