KINGS of THRACE. Lysimachos. 305-281 BC. AR Tetradrachm (17.14 g, 7h). Pella mint. Struck circa 286/5-282/1 BC. Diademed head of the deified Alexander right, with horn of Ammon / Athena Nikephoros seated left, left arm resting on shield, spear behind; no markings. Thompson 242; Müller -. Good VF.


Although there are many issues without markings, the present coin is certainly Thompson 242, as it shares the same obverse die as the plate coin for Thompson 243 and Armenak 930, both marked issues from Pella.
