Comment
Müller 76.Interesting fact
The Lysimachos coin features a unique blend of Greek and Thracian elements, reflecting the cultural exchange and syncretism that occurred during the Hellenistic period. The obverse of the coin depicts the portrait of Lysimachos, a Macedonian general who became one of the Diadochi (successors) of Alexander the Great, while the reverse features a Thracian horseman, symbolizing the kingdom's Thracian roots. This fusion of Greek and Thracian motifs highlights the complex cultural identity of the Kingdom of Thrace during this time period.
