King Lysimachus (360 -281 B.C) was one of the leaders that ruled Alexander the Greats empire after its division following his death. The Lysimachus coin is takes its name due to his time of reign. Depicted is the head of Alexander the Great wearing the horn of Ammon.The Lysimachus coin is renown for its incredible depiction of Alexander the Great.
The Greek key pattern (also meander or meandros) takes its name from the square pieces that repeat in the pattern that look rather like an old fashioned key. The pattern is also known as a meander or a Greek fret. Meander means twisting and turning.
Meanders were among the most important symbols in ancient Greece; they, perhaps, symbolized infinity and unity; many ancient Greek temples incorporated the sign of the meander. Greek vases, especially during their Geometric Period, were likely the genesis for the widespread use of meanders; alternately, very ocean-like patterns of waves also appeared in the same format as meandros, which can also be thought of as the Guilloche pattern. The shield of Philip II of Macedon was decorated with multiple symbols of the meander; the shield itself can be found in the museum of Vergina in Central Macedonia of Greece.
