Struck at Amphipolis under Lysimachos, the general who secured Thrace and eventually Macedonia itself in the wars that carved up Alexander's empire, this tetradrachm is part of the celebrated series that fused the memory of the conqueror with the propaganda of his successor. The obverse bears the diademed head of the deified Alexander facing right, distinguished by the ram's horn of Ammon curling beside his ear, a divine attribute alluding to Alexander's claimed descent from the god following his visit to the oracle at Siwah, here rendered by Lysimachos to lend his own kingship the borrowed luster of Alexander's semi-divine authority. The reverse legend ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΛΥΣΙΜΑΧΟΥ frames an enthroned Athena Nikephoros, seated left with a diminutive Nike alighting on her extended right hand while her left arm rests upon her shield, a spear rising behind her; in the field a kerykeion with handle stands to the inner left and the monogram KA to the outer right, control marks of the Amphipolis mint officials. The coin is struck in notably high relief and retains beautiful, even toning across its surfaces, with only some minor marks to note, all in keeping with the EF grade. Its pedigree traces back to the Dupriez sale of 1934, where it appeared as lot 833.
