THRACE, Kingdom of, Lysimachus, (323-281 B.C.), silver tetradrachm, (17.042 grams), Amphipolis mint, issued c.288/7-282/1 B.C., obv. head of Alexander to right, (eye looking upwards), with diadem and horn of Ammon, within dotted border, rev. Athena enthroned to left, supporting Nike, shield at side with lion's head in centre, **HUPQ* monogram in inner left field, **HDTP* in outer right field, to right **BASILEWS*, to left **LUSIMAXOU*, (cf.S.6814, Thompson 201, Armenak 919 [same dies]). High relief, of finest style, nearly extremely fine and rare.

This issue is close in style to the beautiful issues from the Pergamon mint struck by the artist who simply signed his coinage 'K'. It could be the work of that same artist.
