<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Terence Cheesman, post: 3695876, member: 86498&quot;]Athens tetradrachm 392-380 B.C. Obv Head of Athena with eye in profile Rv Owl standing right HGC 1598 17.12 grms 23 mm I usually refer to this coin as the &quot;Doll Face&quot;[ATTACH=full]990556[/ATTACH] It has is generally thought that large scale production of good silver Athenian tetradrchms ended even before Athens surrendered to Sparta ending the Peloponnesian War in 404 B.C. Thus this issue represents the first large scale production of &quot;owls&quot; in over 12 years. Despite its obvious nod to modernity the profile eye on Athena, this coinage is still very much a throwback to an earlier coinage[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
