Nice coin! This is my only Athenian bronze coin.


Attica, Athens AE 14 130-90 BC.
HGC 4, 1734; Kroll 1993, no. 100.
4.19 grams


Here's a Syracusan bronze with Athena on the obverse:

Syracuse, AE Litra, circa 390 BC.
SNG ANS 435
7.12 grams

 

Athens, AE 12 mm, late 3rd c. BC
Obv.: head of Athena right, wearing corinthian helmet
rev.: ΑΘΕ, owl standing right, head facing, in wreath

 

Wow @robinjojo is that a bee on the obverse of your first coin? It is huge, nice!

@GinoLR nice coin - the letters ΑΘΕ are hard to read, or maybe it's just the picture
