HGC-4, 1602; Thompson-360.3 (this coin cited). New Style coinage. Obverse: Helmeted head of Athena right; Reverse: Owl, with head facing, standing right on overturned amphora; anchor and star to left, A on amphora, ΣΦ below; all within wreath. This lovely choice example has only the faintest hint of wear on the devices that are nicely struck. A slight flan flaw is the only detraction from this specimen.
