    My friend found this coin and we have no clue what it is. I'm hoping someone here can point us in the right direction. Thanks in advance! :)

    This is a modern fake replica of the Athens tetradrachm. Perhaps they were attempting to copy the contemporary copies of the owl made in the Near East rather than the original Athens coin but either way the coin is not ancient.

    Thanks! Wow, I just took a look at the real deal. The owl on this one is certainly not "charming!" Too funny!
