SILVER ATHENIAN TETRADRACHM, CA. 520-510 BC
On the obverse is the head of Athena. On the reverse, the owl (glaux), sacred to the goddess. The “Glaux” coin type began appearing in Athenian coinage under the rule of Hippias, son of Peisistratos, and inspired confidence by remaining unchanged for many years; thus, these coins circulated in many foreign market places (Numismatic Museum, Athens).
