Though apparently not serving as a major mint, Lysimacheia was founded by Lysimachos as his new capital in 309 BC, and was among the first to issue his coinage. In general, output was fairly consistent throughout Lysimachos’ reign, the only major interruption being caused by an earthquake which severely damaged the city in 287 BC.The Coinage of Lysimachos, a Macedonian of great physical strength and fortitude, rose to prominence as a σωματοφύλαξ, or “bodyguard” for Alexander the Great. When Alexander’s territories were parceled out during the settlement at Babylon in 323 BC, Lysimachos was given control of Thrace, the Chersonese, and the intervening Black Sea coast.
