53: Magnesia on the Maiandros (today Menderes), gold Stater

From the same mint as n.52 some 20 years later, about 295 BC, Lysimachos, in a rather yellowish gold, but nevertheless extremely expressive. Again this head with the horn of Ammon, which later became so famous. Lysimachos wanted to express: I am the legitimate successor of Alexander the Conqueror.
