| Lot description: KINGS of THRACE, Macedonian. Lysimachos. 305-281 BC. AR Tetradrachm (28.5mm, 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, arm resting on shield, transverse spear in background; wreath to outer left, Σ in exergue. Meadows, Earliest 25, dies O15/R– (unlisted rev. die); Thompson 163 (same obv. die as illustration); Müller –; HGC 3, 1750h. Faintly toned. VF. 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: 400 USD |  |
