<p>[QUOTE="Terence Cheesman, post: 8422471, member: 86498"]I have not done much research on this subject however. Margaret Thompson's study of the Coinage of Lysimachos in Essays Robinson (1968) appears to corroborate the assertion made by CNG that the Herm symbol combined with that monogram is from the mint of Lampsakos. Her introductory study does show that symbol and the monogram but not on the same coin but in the same sequence. Based on that information I would have to concur that the ae posted above by [USER=121901]@Montmercure[/USER] is from the mint of Lampsakos. However again I must emphasize that I have not given this problem much study. </p><p> I also have a tetradrachm of Lysimachos from the mint of Lampsakos</p><p>Tetradrachm of Lysimachos Mint of Lampsakos 297/6- 282/1 BC Obv Head of Alexander right with horn of Ammon over ear.
