Here is your coin in the catalogue. It was added by an other member a couple of days ago and verified today :)

The coin is in the name of King Lysimachos and not in the name of the city Lysimacheia. As the name suggests, the city was founded by Lysimachos, but the coin you have is attested in numismatic literature to the king and not just the city.
