[QUOTE="TIF, post: 1968936, member: 56859"]Well [I]of course[/I] you don't have just an ordinary ATG AV stater. :P Just another stunning coin for your world-class collection. :) Somehow I've failed to get a lifetime issue of Alexander the Great. Here are a couple in that style though. A tetradrachm struck 295/4-291 BC by one of ATG's successors, Seleukos I Nicator. Seleukos I was an infantry general under Alexander the Great. Susa mint. One of my earliest ancient purchases, part of a small mixed lot of Hellenistic coins.

It was struck in Odessos, Thrace, ~125-70 BC, long after the death of Lysimachos. The city reverted to cranking out ATG-style coinage.
