HISTORY

Alexander the Great and his conquests changed the world forever. After his death in 323BC his successors used his portrain for their coins.

One of the most striking examples is the coins made by Lysimachus, who was a former companion of Alexander. After his conquests in Asia Minor, he began to produce stunning silver and gold coins with identical types. On the front of the coins was placed a portrait of Alexander adorned with the ram’s horn of the Egyptian god Amun. On the reverse was a seated figure of the goddess Athena, and a Greek legend which translates ‘Of King Lysimachus’.
