ANCIENT GREEK SILVER TETRADRACHM COIN OF ATHENS, ATHENIAN OWL DESIGN. The old-style tetradrachm of Athens is famous for its almond shaped eye, archaic smile, and charming owl reverse. Around 480 B.C. a wreath of olive leaves and a decorative scroll were added to Athena’s helmet. On the reverse, a crescent moon was added. During the period 449 – 413 B.C. huge quantities of tetradrachms were minted to finance grandiose building projects such as the Parthenon and to cover the costs of the Peloponnesian War.
