Catana, located on Sicily’s eastern coast beneath Mount Etna, issued silver tetradrachms during the 5th century BC as part of the flourishing Greek colonial coinage tradition. These substantial coins reflected the city’s economic prosperity and participation in Mediterranean trade networks. Right now, Sicily Catana AR Tetradrachm Coins are available at JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Each Sicily Catana AR Tetradrachm Coin comes in Choice Very Fine condition. The coin has a quality eye appeal with color and texture that are matched on both sides. The 4/5 strike grade is evident in the above-average quality of the strong, centered, and even design strikes on the coin. The 3/5 surface grade is present in the satin luster and evenly softened surfaces.
The minting of tetradrachms demonstrated Catana’s political autonomy and commercial ambitions during a period when Greek Sicily experienced both wealth and intense rivalries among its city-states. Silver tetradrachms circulated extensively throughout the Greek world as high-value trade currency, facilitating commerce across the Mediterranean. Their substantial weight and precious metal content made them suitable for large transactions, military payments, and interstate commerce. Sicilian tetradrachms traveled along maritime trade routes to mainland Greece, southern Italy, and beyond, while coins from Athens and Corinth flowed westward to Sicily.
In the design of Sicily Catana AR Tetradrachm’s feature common designs of the ancient world. Fifth-century BC tetradrachms from Greek Sicily are celebrated for their artistic excellence, often featuring refined engraving that rivaled contemporary sculpture. Typical designs included patron deities, such as Apollo at Catana, accompanied by quadrigas (four-horse chariots) commemorating athletic victories, or local river gods personified as bulls.
