Tanman2001 Pillar of the Community United States 4395 Posts	Posted 12/17/2021 6:47 pm Picked up a handful of ancients recently that I want to share. Looking for thoughts, opinions, and verification of my attributes. (And IDing for the few a can't figure out) Coin #1/20: Kings of Thrace, AR Drachm of Lysimachos 301-281 BC Kolophon Mint Obv: Head of Hercules right wearing lionskin headress. Rev: BAΣIΛEΩΣ below, ΛYΣIMAXOY to right, Zeus seated left holding eagle and scepter. Lion and crescent in left field, pentagram beneath throne. 3.98g - 18mm Muller 20, Prince L28, Thompson 127, SNG Cop 1079 Porosity is a bit of a let down, but still a cool coin.
