<p>[QUOTE="Terence Cheesman, post: 8282691, member: 86498"]Athens Ar Tetradrachm 475-465 BC. Obv head of Athena right wearing an Attic style helmet and flashing a great big happy smile. Rv Owl standing right head facing , to right olive sprig and crescent all within a square punch. Star Group IV (Early) HGC 1995 17.13 grms 23 mm[ATTACH=full]1462973[/ATTACH]This is my earliest Starr Group owl and it is the only coin I actually purchased that was part of the recent hoard. I find that the obverse of this coin at the Starr group III shown by [USER=110226]@robinjojo[/USER] has a very similar vibe, thought the reverses are very much different. Though minted at the same time and under similar constraints the changes in the obverse appears to be independent to that of the reverse. At some point I would like to purchase a Starr Group tetradrachm that is earlier than the ones I now have so Well Done [USER=110226]@robinjojo[/USER][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
