I've been looking for an unusual Greek stater for a while now. Unfortunately, even with the comparatively vast numbers of Alexander III staters available, the good ones always have several bidders fighting over them. Finally settled for this one which has a nice portrait, is on a nice round flan and well centered, I think, with very good strike and metal quality. Bithynia, Calchedon: In the name and type of Lysimachus, ca. late third century BC. Diademed head of deified Alexander III right, with horn of Ammon / ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ / ΛΥΣΙΜΑXOΥ, Athena seated left, Nike in right hand crowning royal name, resting left arm on grounded shield decorated with ridges and gorgoneion head boss, transverse spear beyond; monogram to inner left, bull charging left in exergue. I could not find many examples or information about this issue. If anyone can, please share information or post your coins from Bithynia.
Wow, really nice coin! Great example, however I regret I do not a lot about these. Would you have diameter and weight? Lysimachos always seemed to have harder-to-find issues. I only have ONE coin from Bithynia. I captured it because of Mithra. Bithynia Kios 250 BCE AE11 1.06g Laureate hd Mithra r Kantharos 2 grape bunches hanging K-I below within a wreath SNG Cop 382
I can't make out the monogram... Otherwise for the general type it's like this https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=759000
I don't have it on me but looks like an MP. It's not very clear in the photos I have either. Fortunately, it's a problem free coin!
