ATTICA. Athens. AR Tetradrachm, 111/0 B.C. ICG EF 45. HGC-4, 1602; Thompson-703b. Phanokles, Apollonios, and Alexander, magistrates. "New style" type. Obverse: Helmeted head of Athena right; Reverse: Owl, with head facing, standing right on overturned amphora; to right, Artemis standing facing, holding torch in both hands; Z on overturned amphora, ΣΟ below; all within wreath. Rather well centered on a somewhat compact flan, this alluringly toned specimen certainly offers charming eye appeal and would seemingly be a bit undergraded. Quite wholesome and an excellent example of the type.
