Diademed head of the deified Alexander right, with horn of Ammon / ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΛΥΣΙΜΑΧΟΥ, Athena Nikephoros seated left, left arm resting on shield, transverse spear in background; monogram to inner left, spiral ornament on throne. Marinescu Issue 22, 54 corr. (O25/R51; monogram slightly different on this die than depicted); Müller –; HGC 3, 1394; Meydancikkale 2698 (same dies). In NGC encapsulation 4531057-011, graded Ch AU, Strike: 5/5, Surface: 5/5.
From the Grand Haven Collection. Ex John Whitney Walter Collection (Stack's Bowers Galleries, 16 August 2018), lot 20049.
The monogram on this die is slightly different from that used on the other three reverse dies that Marinescu assigned to this issue. As all of the reverse dies are linked via obverse die 25, the coins struck from this reverse die must constitute a small issue preceding Issue 22, as the die state of the obverse appears the most fresh on these.
