a new Lysimachos tetradrachm arrival!

Recommended Posts

Picked this guy up a few weeks ago and just had it arrive now, 

Quite happy with the style, 16.95 g.; 29,3 mm 

I can't read German but on the auction description it says 
 

Thompson in Festschr. Robinson (1968), S. 171, 43 (Mondsichel) Müller, Lysimachus - HGC 1750b 

So is it possible that it has a 1968 pedigree? Although I am not quite sure what that means. 

It has been a fairly successful hunt this month of May and I am looking forward to some more arrivals shortly... a BIG addition as well that I am quite excited to share 😄 

Let me know here what you have arriving and anything you are scoping out?

Beautiful arrival!

I have several coins waiting for export permits from Austria, but nothing on the order of what you have. 🙂 

Interestingly, my Lysimachos tet came from the same seller.

No, or at least if it does it is a complete coincidence.

Thompson in Festschr. Robinson (1968), S. 171, 43 (Mondsichel) "translates" as :

This type of coin can be seen in the article  by Margaret Thompson in the festschrift to Stanley Robinson, published 1968, specifically page 171, type 43 with the crescent moon.

Thank you very much! That clears that up for me. 😄
