The silver tetradrachms of Athens were prized throughout the ancient world for their beauty and value. On the obverse of the coin is the image of Athena, Goddess of wisdom and war, patroness of the city; on the reverse is her sacred bird, the owl. A work of art in its own right, this exquisite coin epitomizes the wealth and splendor of Athens at her height. In an opulent frame of sparkling diamonds and gold, it appeals to both the eye and the imagination. The person who wears it will prove beyond doubt his or her own wisdom.
