Interesting fact
The Lysimachos coin features a unique combination of symbols and imagery, including a portrait of Lysimachos himself, a lion's head, and a crescent moon. This combination has led some numismatists to suggest that the coin may have been intended to commemorate a military victory or a religious festival, although the exact meaning behind the symbols remains a topic of debate among historians and collectors.
