<p>[QUOTE=&quot;PeteB, post: 3563830, member: 99412&quot;]Lysimachos; 305-281 B.C.; AR Tetradrachm (17.2 gm). Obv: Diademed head of Alexander the Great, wearing the horn of Ammon. Rev: Athena enthroned left,&nbsp; holding Nike and resting left arm on shield, on which is a lion&#039;s face; transverse spear resting on her right side; ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ to right and ΛΥΣΙΜΑΧΟΥ to the left. A &quot;Φ&quot; monogram and head of Tyche in the fields to left. This is a magnificent, life-like portrait of Alexander the Great. Smyrna mint. Thompson 237. Thompson notes there was a single emission of staters, tetradrachms and drachms at Smyrna, which commemorated Lysimachos&#039; contributions toward the city&#039;s rehabilitation. Only one obv. die is known for tetradrachms and only about 14 examples are known for this coin. Thompson 237; Müller 408.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]947741[/ATTACH] </p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
