The silver tetradrachms of Attica, struck at the Athens mint, are among the most historically significant and recognizable coins from the ancient Greek world. Best known for their distinctive owl imagery, Athenian tetradrachms developed into an important form of trade currency during the classical period, circulating widely throughout the Mediterranean region and reaching commercial centers across the Near East. With a Choice Extremely Fine grade from the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC), this AR Tetradrachm is an impressive example of Athenian coin production and art. Today, Attica Athens AR Tetradrachm Coins are available at JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Athenian tetradrachms from this era circulated across a broad portion of the eastern Mediterranean and Near East, supported by their established reputation as silver coinage and the widespread recognition of their familiar owl imagery. These coins were accepted in commercial centers extending into Egypt, Persia, the Levant, and other regions even after Athens had lost much of its earlier political and military influence.
All Attica Athens AR Tetradrachm Coins available here come in Choice Extremely Fine condition. The NGC assigns this grade to ancient coins with light or even trace wear found only on the highest points of the design. The details and legends of the coin remain extremely sharp and well-defined within the field. Traces of the original mint luster may also still be visible.
The Athenian tetradrachm displays one of the most familiar combinations of imagery found on ancient Greek coinage. The obverse depicts the helmeted head of Athena, patron goddess of Athens, rendered according to the established artistic traditions used for the city’s silver coins. On the reverse is Athena’s owl, traditionally portrayed standing beside an olive sprig and crescent moon. Completing the design is the abbreviated Greek inscription AOE, which identifies Athens as the authority responsible for issuing the coinage.
