KINGS of THRACE, Macedonian. Lysimachos. 305-281 BC. AR Tetradrachm (28.5mm, 17.06 g, 1h). Abydos mint. Struck circa 297/6-282/1 BC.

Thompson –; Müller –; HGC 3, 1750c. Deposits, minor die wear on obverse. Good VF.

Although unpublished, the style of the dies used for this issue is identical to that found on the plate coin for Thompson 72, as well as other published examples of Thompson 71 (cf., e.g., CNG 45, lot 288). Clearly, these dies were engraved by the same hand.
