KINGS of THRACE, Macedonian. Lysimachos. 305-281 BC. AR Tetradrachm (29mm, 16.51 g, 10h). Uncertain mint in Thrace (Kabyle?). Struck under Skostokos, circa 285-281 BC. Diademed head of the deified Alexander right, with horn of Ammon / Athena Nikephoros seated left, arm resting on shield, transverse spear in background; herm to inner left, ΣKOΣTOKOY in exergue. Fischer-Bossert, Lysimacheier 6i (V1/R6 – this coin); Youroukova 103 (same obv. die); CN Online Type 5190; HGC 3, 1471. Toned. Good VF. Rare.

From the Colin E. Pitchfork Collection. Ex Gemini I (11 January 2005), lot 119.

While previous scholars viewed Skostokos as a dynast who took control of parts of Thrace following Lysimachos’ death, Fischer-Bossert’s die study demonstrates that Skostokos was most likely a local ruler in the vicinity of Kybele, under Lysimachos, who was permitted to strike these coins near the end of Lysimachos’ reign.
