| Lot description: Ancients ATTICA. Athens. Ca. 510/500-480 BC. AR tetradrachm (21mm, 17.28 gm, 2h). NGC AU 3/5 - 4/5. Head of Athena right, wearing crested Attic helmet, the crest box ornamented with chevron pattern / AΘΕ, owl standing right with closed wings, head facing; drooping olive sprig with two leaves and one berry behind, all within incuse square. Seltman Groups C, G and M. HGC 4, 1590 (ca. 500/490-485/480 BC). Delightful early type with delicate toning. A simply fantastic example with incredible archaic style - the careful crest design fully visible, the theta on the reverse engraved with a delightful dotted outer ring, and the stern owl that would later become softer, larger and much more curious in appearance. https://coins.ha.com/itm/ancients/greek/ancients-attica-athens-ca-510-500-480-bc-ar-tetradrachm-21mm-1728-gm-2h-ngc-au-3-5-4-5/a/3115-32068.s?type=DA-DMC-CoinArchives-WorldCoins-3115-05082024 HID02906262019 © 2024 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved |  |
