KINGS of THRACE, Macedonian. Lysimachos. 305-281 BC. AR Tetradrachm (26mm, 16.18 g, 5h). Uncertain mint in Thrace (Kabyle?). Struck under Skostokos, circa 285-281 BC. Diademed head of the deified Alexander right, with horn of Ammon / Athena Nikephoros seated left, arm resting on shield, transverse spear in background; herm to inner left. Fischer-Bossert, Lysimacheier 24 (V6’/R14); Peykov C3100; CN Online Type 5190; HGC 3, 1471. Lightly toned, some rouguness. VF.

While previous scholars viewed Skostokos as a dynast who took control of parts of Thrace following Lysimachos’ death, Fischer-Bossert’s die study demonstrates that Skostokos was most likely a local ruler in the vicinity of Kybele, under Lysimachos, who was permitted to strike these coins near the end of Lysimachos’ reign.
