The tetradrachm was a silver coin valued at four drachmas and became one of the most significant monetary units of the ancient Greek world. Many Greek city-states issued their own tetradrachms, each featuring unique motifs that highlighted their civic pride and culture. Among them, the Attic tetradrachms from Athens gained a strong reputation for both their refined artistry and their reliable silver purity, making them a trusted medium of exchange throughout the Mediterranean region. Right now, Attica Athens AR Tetradrachm Coins from the 4th century BCE are available in About Uncirculated condition at JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Each Attica, Athens AR Tetradrachm Coin was produced between 440 and 404 BCE. The About Uncirculated condition reflects light wear limited to the highest design points, with most details fully preserved. The NGC’s Surface grade of 4/5 indicates a coin that maintains good quality for its post-production visuals, such as its luster, corrosion, and scratches. As such, wear and abrasion from circulation are minimal on these specimens.
Over centuries, these silver tetradrachms have maintained appealing surfaces, with many examples retaining silver-white luster and a smooth, satin-like brilliance. Some also display gentle champagne toning or subtle shades of blue across the metal.
On the obverse of Athens AR Tetradrachms, the coins feature the right-profile bust of Athena, the city’s patron goddess. The reverse side bears her symbolic owl, joined by an olive sprig, crescent moon, and the inscription ΑΘΕ, confirming Athens as the issuing city-state.
Even after Athens experienced political and military setbacks, its tetradrachms continued to circulate extensively due to merchant trust and commercial habit. Other city-states and kingdoms often imitated the Athenian “owl” design, demonstrating the coin’s influence and the economic reach of Athenian trade networks during this period.
