That's amazing! Thank you so much. I have had this coin for years and never knew where to begin. I honestly thought the back looked like a frog.
Looks similar to mine: Bodyguard of Alexander III, Lysymachus was famed for slaying a huge Lion on a hunt with Alexander. Thrace - Lysimachos 305-281 BCE AE14 Lysimacheia mint 2.7g Young Male Helmeted - Forepart Lion SNG Cop 1159 var
Interesting coins. Along the same lines, I recently got a Lysimachos Celtic imitation with a lion on the reverse (a full lion). It was then countermarked for use in Odessos. Exotic as this sounds, these are fairly common for a Greek countermarked issue. I found quite a few auction/sale examples online. The "lion" looks rather like a bear cub, or a dog, or a groundhog. Eastern Celts Æ 18 Lysimachos (Thrace) Imitation Countermarked for Odessos (c. 297-250 B.C.) Helmeted head of Athena (youth?) right / Blundered legend, lion leaping right, spearhead below. Countermark: River god (Odessos/Theos Megas) reclining left, Δ below, 9 x 7 mm oval, obv. (4.04 grams / 18 mm) Attribution: Online sources were confusing to me: Cf. Müller 61-2 for prototype. cf.SNG.Cop.1149ff. SNG Copenhagen 1153; Winterthur 1329
