[QUOTE="Alegandron, post: 4515392, member: 51347"]However, I like THESE much more. They are the FRACTIONALS used by the everyday population, in everyday transactions. The Tets were generally used for major purchases between City-States or Major Commerce Transactions. I believe these are much harder to find, as Tets were mass produced and fractionals produced on a much lower scale and were not generally found in hoards. Just a different perspective on the Athenian Owl: [ATTACH=full]1118830[/ATTACH] Athens Attica 454-404 BCE [B]AR hemidrachm[/B] 16mm 2.08g Athena frontal eye - facing Owl wings closed olive branches COP 70 SG 2528 [ATTACH=full]1118831[/ATTACH] Athens 340-317 BCE [B]AE 12 [/B] Athena attic helmet R- Double bodied Owl with head facing E olive sprigs kalathos RARE BMC 224[/QUOTE]
