Diademed head of Alexander the Great to right with horn of Ammon over his ear. Rev. ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΛΥΣΙΜΑΧΟΥ Athena seated to left on throne, leaning her left elbow on her shield and holding Nike, crowning the king’s name, in her right; behind, transverse spear with point below left; in the inner left field, monogram of ΔΗΤ with, above, cult statue of Hermes Perpheraios set on a throne. Müller -. Thompson - (unrecorded combination of symbols). For an inferior example struck from the same dies, see: Roma e58, 2019, 485 = e83, 2021, 160 (same dies). Rare, apparently the second, and better, known example. Attractive and well-struck. Nearly extremely fine.
