Pontic Kingdom Lysimachos AV Stater Mithridates VI 120–63 B.C.

This remarkable Ancient Greek Gold Stater is a Lysimachus-type issue struck during the reign of Mithridates VI of Pontus, one of the most prominent rulers of the Hellenistic world. Although bearing the traditional types of Kings Lysimachus—who ruled nearly two centuries earlier—this coin originates from the Black Sea region during Mithridates’ lifetime, when he deliberately adopted the iconic imagery of Alexander the Great to legitimize his authority and appeal to local populations familiar with these well-established designs. 8.27 grams. Comes with premium display box and informational card.
