Can anyone give me some info on this coin (i.e. Mint, and some history). This one isn't mine, so I'm trying to garner info for a friend. Thanks greatly, Fred
It does appear that that coin is the Lysimachus design since this was the only mint that produced the Alexander coins with the "Athena holding Nike" reverses.The others all used Zeus. From what I have learned,these are also the very first coins to use Alexander's image.I have a strange feeling though,that based on the extreme crudeness of the design,that it's a reproduction,not the real thing. Look through this page and I think you'll see what I mean. http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/greece/thrace/kings/lysimachos/t.html
