<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JayAg47, post: 24794722, member: 112342&quot;]One of my dream coins that actually depicts Alexander rather than him as Herakles.</p><p><br /></p><p>I just love the high relief on these coins, I read somewhere that these high relief meant to actually depict the side profile of the face of a person/statue. So I took a photo of the edge, cropped the image, slightly widened them, copied and pasted another set to make the face. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1586258[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Now on to the coin!</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1586257[/ATTACH] </p><p>Kings of Thrace (Macedonian). Lysimachos, AR Tetradrachm, 16.43 g, 27 mm. 305-281 BC, Sardes mint.</p><p>Obv: Diademed head of the deified Alexander right, wearing horn of Ammon.</p><p>Rev: ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ / ΛΥΣΙΜΑΧΟΥ.
