Description:

The Attica, Athens AR Tetradrachm (c. 431–393 B.C.) is among the most recognisable and influential silver coins of the ancient world, struck at the height of Athens’ political, military, and cultural power.
Minted in the city of Athens, the civic centre of the region of Attica, this tetradrachm reflects the authority of the Athenian state and its dominance over Mediterranean trade during and after the Peloponnesian War.

The obverse bears the helmeted head of Athena, patron goddess of the city, rendered in a bold, archaic style that deliberately preserved tradition and recognisability. On the reverse appears the iconic owl, Athena’s sacred companion and a symbol of wisdom and vigilance, accompanied by an olive sprig and crescent moon, with the inscription ΑΘΕ signifying “of the Athenians.”

Struck in high-purity silver from the Laurion mines, these coins were trusted far beyond Greece, circulating as an international currency of commerce, tribute, and power, and remain enduring symbols of classical Athens’ wealth and influence.

Condition Guide

Ever wondered how we categorise the condition of the items we sell? We've put together this guide below, so you know exactly what you're getting.

Unworn

As the name suggests, these pieces have never been used. They have also been stored perfectly, and have no signs of wear or use. They may even come with original tags.

  • Grade: N (New With Tags)
  • Grade: S (Never Used, New Condition without Tags)

Excellent

While these pieces can't claim to be unworn, they certainly appear to be. These items have hardly ever been used and have no signs of wear.

  • Grade: SA (Near Brand-New Condition)
  • Grade: A (Excellent Condition. Barely Used)

Very Good

With minimal use and wear, these pieces are the perfect balance of price and wear. They may have small signs of wear that are only visible up close.

  • Grade: B+ (Very Good Condition. Used with Care)

Good

These items have some signs of use, perhaps slight staining, slight wear to the corners, or hardware scratches. They come at a great price.

  • Grade: B (Pre-loved, Good Condition)

Fair

These pieces have signs of use that will be visible – perhaps some staining or wear. They are reasonably priced because of this.

  • Grade: B- (Pre-loved, Used Condition)

Worn

These pieces are priced very reasonably as they have obvious signs of wear. This could be staining, wear, or missing elements, such as zipper pulls. They are great for a buyer who is happy to upcycle them – having them restored, cleaned up, or re-adding missing pieces.

  • Grade: C (Obvious Flaws. Used)
