Classical Athenian Silver Tetradrachm Coin

A legendary classical Athenian silver tetradrachm. The obverse features the helmeted head of Athena, goddess of wisdom, styled in exquisite archaic realism. The reverse features her sacred owl with an olive branch, symbolizing peace, and a crescent moon, flanked by the Greek letters 'AΘE' (Athenian). A remarkably high-relief strike with pristine crystalline surfaces.
