<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Curtis, post: 24877446, member: 26430&quot;]I&#039;m not sure that it&#039;s necessarily an Eastern imitation. This is what the official Athenian ones look like from the &quot;late Classical&quot; period, <a href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?term=pi+style+folded+flan" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?term=pi+style+folded+flan" rel="nofollow">c. 353-294 BCE (&quot;pi-style palmette&quot; types)</a>, rather than the &quot;mass classical owls&quot; struck about 100 years earlier (c. 454-404 BCE).</p><p><br /></p><p>They were struck on &quot;folded flans.&quot; The best academic reference I know on these (quite readable though) is <a href="https://www.jstor.org/stable/10.2972/hesperia.80.2.0229" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.jstor.org/stable/10.2972/hesperia.80.2.0229" rel="nofollow">Kroll&#039;s (2011) &quot;THE REMINTING OF ATHENIAN SILVER COINAGE, 353 B.C.&quot;</a> -- available on JSTOR if you have access or sign up for free with your email -- or <a href="https://scholar.google.com/scholar_url?url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/pdf/10.2972/hesperia.80.2.0229.pdf%3Fcasa_token%3D-aqrMRneLoYAAAAA:IfYLJPYdc6AIPnmQlyIJhqVPlnlZVttJUn-KlVzWKtbflyaJqaXj2IsBVY-LbjT7EQ8ilKDA7_nYKvlNzlXbgYl_wKjf--KFXHVc30CylZgW-Id4dw&amp;hl=en&amp;sa=T&amp;oi=ucasa&amp;ct=ucasa&amp;ei=qLrJX8OrO5DWmgHq7L3gBA&amp;scisig=AAGBfm159CbKrvm9cAiHRD9kVXfa75imKg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://scholar.google.com/scholar_url?url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/pdf/10.2972/hesperia.80.2.0229.pdf%3Fcasa_token%3D-aqrMRneLoYAAAAA:IfYLJPYdc6AIPnmQlyIJhqVPlnlZVttJUn-KlVzWKtbflyaJqaXj2IsBVY-LbjT7EQ8ilKDA7_nYKvlNzlXbgYl_wKjf--KFXHVc30CylZgW-Id4dw&amp;hl=en&amp;sa=T&amp;oi=ucasa&amp;ct=ucasa&amp;ei=qLrJX8OrO5DWmgHq7L3gBA&amp;scisig=AAGBfm159CbKrvm9cAiHRD9kVXfa75imKg" rel="nofollow">downloadable as pdf here</a>.

As far as I know, only the two little ones (Drachm and Obol) are Eastern (Judaean/Philistian-Gazan) imitations.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1597090[/ATTACH]</p><p>(I should mention that I&#039;m not 100% certain of the authenticity of the holed late-classical 3rd century one since it&#039;s clearly been heavily modified for modern jewelry.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
