Interesting fact
The Æ10 coin from Lysimacheia (Thrace) was used during the reign of King Lysimachus, who ruled the kingdom of Thrace from 225 BC to 198 BC. The coin features an image of the king's head on one side and a horseman on the other, symbolizing the kingdom's military power and influence. Despite being made of bronze, which was a common material for coins at the time, the Æ10 coin from Lysimacheia was considered valuable and widely used in trade throughout the region.
