| Lot description: KINGS of THRACE, Macedonian. Lysimachos. 305-281 BC. AR Tetradrachm (27.5mm, 16.96 g, 12h). "Alexandreia Troas" mint. Struck circa 297/6-282/1 BC. Diademed head of the deified Alexander right, with horn of Ammon / Athena Nikephoros seated left, left arm resting on shield, transverse spear in background; to inner left, head of ram left; star on throne. Thompson 151; Meadows, Earliest 5, dies O5/R– (unlisted rev. die); Müller –; HGC 3, 1750h. Lightly toned, a few light marks, scuffs on obverse. Near EF. In his die study of the lifetime Lysimachoi attributed to Alexandreia Troas, A. Meadows doubted that the attribution of this coinage to that mint was correct, and suggested it be left uncertain. A. Ellis-Evans, in his new die study of the Hellenistic coinage of Alexandreia Troas, agrees that this coinage should no longer be given to that mint. Estimate: 1000 USD |  |
