| Ancient Greek Silver Tetradrachm (21.60 gm; 26 mm) Weight for gold and coin Setting: Handcrafted 18k solid gold modern simple hand made setting by the finest Armenian - Jerusalemite jewelers This lovely coin was found in Jerusalem Throughout antiquity, Athena and her companion owl served Athens as city symbol and primary coin type. This Athenian silver coin show a head of the goddess Athena facing right on the obverse , the reverse of an owl, with an olive spray, a waning moon and the first three letters of the name of the city. What made the Athenian silver so popular and long lasting was its status as the definition of good money. The man on the street anywhere in the Greek world knew that he could trust the "owl" to contain full weight of the best silver. Athens was the strongest economic force in the Greek world. Their mines provided the Athenians with tons of fine silver so there was never a reason for them to produce bad coins. ******* Price Including : 1- Shipping " one week delivery 3- export approval from the Antiquities Authority in Israel 4- certificate of authenticity. | |||||
