Attica, Athens, c. 449–404 BC, Tetradrachm, Svoronos (Athenes) pl. 14, 13, 17.22 g - well-struck and lustrous example of one of the most iconic of all issues of the classical period, still preserving a mysterious Archaic smile on the lips of Athena.
This very rare variation bears two clearly visible centering marks on the reverse - one on the forehead of the owl and one bottom right of the A, thereby giving an important insight into the making of this remarkable form of miniature art.
