Description

ATTICA. Athens. AR Tetradrachm (16.61 gms), Karaich-, Hergokl-, and Diony-, magistrates, 121/0 B.C. NGC VF, Strike: 5/5 Surface: 4/5.

HGC-4, 1602; Thompson-540d.3 ( possibly this coin cited). New Style coinage. Obverse: Helmeted head of Athena right; Reverse: Owl, with head facing, standing right on overturned amphora; to right, prow right; Λ on amphora, ME below; all within wreath. This lovely piece has steely gray surfaces that blend well with the wear present, giving this vigorously struck example an antiquated feel. Thompson mentions 540d.3 as encountered in "commerce 1955." Given Salton's activity in the business at the time, this well could be that example.

From the Mark and Lottie Salton Collection.
