The 'shrine' or cult activity is aimed at the dead kings rather than Alexander; the coin was given as an offering to them or him it is not clear how the tombs relate. Lysimachos defeated Seuthes III at a place called Hieron or the Holy Place perhaps this city was that site, my Bulgarian geography is not up to saying without a map :roll:
