Some test punches and with two test cuts and minor scratches on the reverse, otherwise, good fine. From the Canaan Collection, ex Leu 83, 6-7 May 2002, 245. Meshorer suggested that the 'shin' countermark may have been applied at the Samarian city of Shomron, linking it to SNG ANS 3, where the 𐡔 appears on Athena's cheek not as a countermark, but as part of the actual design. If this is true, our coin is either an official Athenian owl or an eastern imitation thereof that was countermarked by the Shomronians to align it with their locally issued owls.
