Ancient Greece Kingdom of Thrace AR Tetradrachm Lysimachus 305 - 281 BC NGC Ch XF
Silver 16.88 g.; This Tetradrachm is a truly remarkable and historical artifact, a window into the distant past that speaks to the grandeur and power of ancient civilizations. On the obverse of this magnificent coin, one is immediately struck by the regal visage of Alexander III (more commonly known as Alexander the Great). Flipping the coin to its reverse side reveals a scene of profound symbolism and mythology. There, the goddess Athena, the embodiment of wisdom and warfare, is depicted seated. She exudes an aura of serenity and authority as she cradles Nike, the winged goddess of victory, in her right hand. The level of detail in this ancient Tetradrachm is a testament to the craftsmanship of its time; Strike: 5/5, Surface: 4/5
