A silver tetradrachm from Ancient Greece, from the Greek city-state of Attica (Athens). This coin was produced between 440-404 B.C. and features the iconic Athenian Owl design, one of the most famous designs of ancient coins. The coin measures 24mm in diameter, about the size of a quarter.
The obverse side of the coin features the portrait of Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom, while the reverse features an owl, a bird associated with Athena. The coin is professionally graded and authenticated to be in Choice Extremely Fine (XF) condition by the third-party grading company NGC, with light wear, a moderate, slightly off-center strike, a small planchet flaw on the owl, and an original patina. The coin is encased in a archival-quality plastic certification holder by NGC. This listing is for the exact coin pictured.
