THRACE. Kingdom of Thrace. Lysimachos, 323-281 B.C. AR Tetradrachm (17.07 gms), Sardes Mint, ca. 297/6-286 B.C. NGC Ch EF, Strike: 4/5 Surface: 4/5. Flan flaw.
HGC-3.2, 1750d; Thompson-86. Obverse: Diademed head of the deified Alexander right, with horn of Ammon; Reverse: Athena seated left on throne, holding crowning Nike; monogram to inner left in exergue. This bold example demonstrates a robust strike and very lightly handled details on the surfaces, with charming, occasional bursts of mint brilliance occurring throughout. Despite a flan flaw on the portrait, this example is a supremely handsome representative of the ever-popular type.
Estimate: $750.00 - $1500.00
