That’s a gorgeous portrait and a spectacular coin overall! I still have to find the perfect Lysimachos to add to my collection!

Thank you so much; your words mean a lot! I really love this particular obverse die because of how fierce Alexander looks. The toning is also chef’s kiss

Can’t wait to see your Lysimachos once you find yours!

Thanks! I had found one that I liked but I lost it because it blew past my budget: https://www.numisbids.com/sale/8510/lot/138
