Description

First struck between 454 and 440B.C. The Athena Owl Tetradrachm was one of the first coins to be struck with both an obverse and reverse. The obverse features Athena, the patron goddess of Athens, and on the reverse, the Athens owl, Athena’s mascot and symbol, also known as the Minerva owl.

Contains 2 oz. Troy .999 Fine Silver
Obverse: Portrait of Athena, the virgin goddess of wisdom with an outer ring of dentils surrounding.
Reverse: A depiction of the “Owl of Athena,” also known as the “Owl of Minerva.” The inscription “ΑΘΕ” is an abbreviation of ΑΘΗΝΑΙΩΝ, which may be translated as “of the Athenians,” with an outer ring of dentils surrounding.

Note to collectors: Being hand fabricated, hot struck, and antiqued, these medals will exhibit some small irregularities that are not considered to be detracting. Great care is taken to ensure there are no glaring inclusions that might diminish eye-appeal while still remaining true to the nature of the fabrication techniques employed.

As a collector of authentic ancient Greek coins, this is a real treat and wonderfully crafted to capture the authentic look of tetradrachms of the day. Because the planchet was bigger than the coin blanks they used, the front crest of Athena was seldom captured on the coin and appears as shown on these. These will be worth many times their sale price in the future.
