THRACE. Kingdom of Thrace. Lysimachos, 323-281 B.C. AR Tetradrachm (17.02 gms), Uncertain mint. NGC Ch EF, Strike: 4/5 Surface: 4/5. Die Shift.
cf. HGC-3.2, 1750 (for general type). Possible contemporary imitation. Obverse: Diademed head of the deified Alexander right, with horn of Ammon; Reverse: Athena seated left on throne, holding crowning Nike and resting elbow upon shield; monogram to inner left. With a style that seems somewhat imitative, this example is quite possibly a contemporary counterfeit. Nevertheless, a charming and elegant example, with light toning and some hints of brilliance remaining.
