ATTICA. Athens. AR Tetradrachm (16.91 gms), ca. 454-404 B.C. NGC Ch VF, Strike: 4/5 Surface: 2/5. Scratches.
HGC-4, 1597; Kroll-8. Obverse: Helmeted head of Athena right; Reverse: Owl standing right, head facing; olive sprig and crescent to left; all within incuse square. A striking Tetradrachm with much individuality. The irregular flan shows a rather jagged edge, but both sides are quite well-struck. The surfaces are lightly toned and of great metal quality. Some scratches on the reverse fields are noted for completeness, but do not detract much from this highly appealing example.
From the Mark and Lottie Salton Collection.
