<p>[QUOTE=&quot;robinjojo, post: 6444492, member: 110226&quot;]Interesting.&nbsp;&nbsp; It is possible that the same engraver was used to create the reverse owls, along with other design elements.&nbsp; I am sure that the Athens Mint, as well as the mints of other cities, including Rome, had a staff of engravers who worked on producing dies from year to year.&nbsp; They might have even had &quot;contract&quot; engravers who worked outside the mint, but that&#039;s speculation on my part.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not sure about the imitation aspect, not being familiar with that vast opus produced by Margaret Thompson on the new style coinage of Athens.&nbsp; Stylistically the tetradrachms posted seem very similar in style, unlike the earlier tets that had distinctive imitations produced in the eastern Mediterranean and further east as far a Bactria and even India.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
