Attica, Athens. Tetradrachm; Attica, Athens; 495 BC, Tetradrachm, 16.87g. So called "Civic Mint", Seltman-370 p. 240,, same die as p. 311. Only One recorded, Svoronos pl. 5, 25, these dies. This coin combines a worn obverse, that was used with many reverse dies, with a virtually mint state reverse of the type, used in future tetradrachms minus the crescent moon. This was the end of the experimental issues of the so called "civic mint" with a decision made that these would be the regular issues of Athenian tetradrachms.
