THRACE. Kingdom of Thrace. Lysimachos, 323-281 B.C. AR Tetradrachm (17.25 gms), Uncertain mint, possibly Kyzikos, ca. 297/6-282/1 B.C., or shortly after. NGC Ch VF, Strike: 5/5 Surface: 3/5.
HGC-3.2, 1750 (for type); Thompson-Unlisted. Obverse: Diademed head of the deified Alexander right, with horn of Ammon; Reverse: Athena seated left on throne, holding crowning Nike; monogram to inner right. This unusual issue, featuring a well centered strike and hints of brilliance around the portrait, is likely related to a similar type thought to be minted at Kyzikos, given the reverted nature of the monogram.
Estimate: $600 - $900
