Diademed head of the deified Alexander right, with horn of Ammon / Athena Nikephoros seated left, arm resting on shield, transverse spear in background; monograms to inner left and in exergue. Meadows, Earliest 14 (uncertain dies); Thompson 157; Müller 486 var. (left field monogram); HGC 3, 1750h. Toned. Good VF. High relief portrait. An impressive coin in hand. Ex Demeter Collection (Classical Numismatic Group Electronic Auction 505, 1 December 2021), lot 80; Gemini VI (10 January 2010), lot 84; Classical Numismatic Group 81 (20 May 2009), lot 229. In his die study of the lifetime Lysimachi 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 |  |
