| Lot description: Thrace, Brutus for Civil War, Types of Lysimachus. Stater; Thrace, Brutus for Civil War, Types of Lysimachus; 44-42 BC, Stater, 8.25g. SNG Cop-1094. Obv: Diademed head of Alexander the Great r. with horn of Ammon. Rx: Athena seated l. on throne, shield behind; ΔΙ in field l., trident below. Purchased from Harlan J. Berk, March 2000. It's been suggested that at least some of these posthumous Lysimachus staters, typically assigned to the period of the Mithridatic War, were in fact struck by Brutus during the Civil War.While this coin is in the style of Lysimachus, it was apparently struck at a city controlled by Brutus. We must assume that Brutus continued this style deliberately, because coins like this were accepted as currency at the time. MS Estimate: 2450 USD |  |
