<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gao, post: 654328, member: 19409&quot;]You are referring to Athenian coins with the bust of Athena on the obverse and a large owl on the reverse, right? They did indeed exist. You can see an example <a href="http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/greece/attica/athens/SNGCop_096v.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/greece/attica/athens/SNGCop_096v.jpg" rel="nofollow">here</a>. However, be warned that if your interest is historical, these coins were from well after the glory days of Athens, when it was no longer the center of power. Classical and archaic athens didn&#039;t make coinage out of non-precious metals. For small change, they made some very tiny silver coins like the obol and hemiobol that can in fact be purchased for much less money than the larger drachms and tetradrachms. You may want to try to find some of those, as they may be in your price range.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
