Αυτό το νόμισμα ανήκει στα λεγόμενα «αθηναϊκά νομίσματα νέου στυλ» που κόπηκαν μεταξύ 166 και 64 π.Χ. και θεωρείται ένα από τα πιο δημοφιλή αρχαία ελληνικά νομίσματα που απεικονίζουν το πορτρέτο της Θεάς Αθηνάς. Η Αθηνά σχετίζεται με τη σοφία, τη χειροτεχνία και τον πόλεμο. Η Αθηνά θεωρούνταν προστάτιδα διαφόρων πόλεων σε όλη την Ελλάδα, αλλά ιδιαίτερα της Αθήνας, η οποία πήρε το όνομά της από εκείνη. Συνήθως εμφανίζεται στην τέχνη φορώντας κράνος και κρατώντας ένα δόρυ. Τα κύρια σύμβολά της περιλαμβάνουν κουκουβάγιες, ελιές και φίδια. Οι ναοί της βρίσκονταν στην οχυρωμένη Ακρόπολη στο κεντρικό τμήμα της πόλης. Ο Παρθενώνας στην Ακρόπολη της Αθήνας είναι αφιερωμένος σε αυτήν, μαζί με πολλούς άλλους ναούς και μνημεία. Το κύριο πανηγύρι της στην Αθήνα ήταν τα Παναθήναια, τα οποία γιορτάζονταν το καλοκαίρι και ήταν το σημαντικότερο πανηγύρι του αθηναϊκού ημερολογίου. Στο κλασικό Ολύμπιο πάνθεον, η Αθηνά θεωρούνταν η αγαπημένη κόρη του Δία. Η κουκουβάγια συνοδεύει παραδοσιακά την Αθηνά. Λόγω αυτής της συσχέτισης, η κουκουβάγια έχει χρησιμοποιηθεί ως σύμβολο γνώσης και σοφίας. Οι επιγραφές περιέχουν την «εθνική» ονομασία της πόλης («ΑΘΕ», δηλαδή «των Αθηναίων»).

Goddess Athena and Owl – Athenian silver tetradrachm.
Dracma was the currency used in Greece during several periods in its history. The tetradrachm was an Ancient Greek silver coin equivalent to fourdrachmae in Athens it replaced the earlier “heraldic” type of didrachms and it was in wide circulation from ca. 510 to ca. 38 BC. This coin belongs to the so-called “new style Athenian coins” minted between 166 and 64 B.C. and is considered one of the most popular ancient Greek coins which illustrate the portrait of Goddess Athena on the one side and the wisdom owl on the other. Athena is an ancient Greek goddess associated with wisdom, handicraft, and warfare. Athena was regarded as the patron and protectress of various cities across Greece, particularly the city of Athens, from which she most likely received her name. She’s usually shown in art wearing a helmet and holding a spear. Her major symbols include owls, olive trees, and snakes. Her temples were located atop the fortified Acropolis in the central part of the city. The Parthenon on the Athenian Acropolis is dedicated to her, along with numerous other temples and monuments. Her main festival in Athens was the Panathenaia, which was celebrated in midsummer and was the most important festival on the Athenian calendar. In the classical Olympian pantheon, Athena was regarded as the favorite daughter of Zeus. The owl traditionally accompanies Athena. Because of such association, the owl has been used as a symbol of knowledge and wisdom. The inscriptions contain the city’s “national” appellation (“ΑΘΕ», i.e. “of the Athenians”).As in all handmade items there may be small differences in weight and dimensions and this is what makes them unique and precious.
