About the Item

This is a drachm in the style of the Athenian tetradrachm showing the owl and Athena. Athenian owls were very famous throughout the region, with many localities imitating the coinage. This is one such example. This size is a lot smaller than the original athenian tetradrachm, which I also sell. Note that gold chains are sold separately. -- Coin information: Greek Levant, Uncertain mint. Imitating Attica. Athens silver Drachm Obverse: Helmeted head of Athena right Reverse: Owl standing right with head facing; olive sprig and crescent behind; all within incuse square Struck: 5th century BC

Owl & Athena 450 BC Athens Hand Set in Sterling Silver

Read my blog post about Athens' owl coin: https://www. peregrinependants. com/blog/athens-owl-coin To appreciate its size, the relief of the coin and the shape of the bail, see the picture showing the coin next to a US quarter. The coin was first set in a gold bezel, which was then hammered over the edge of both sides. This was then sanded and polished. This pendant is built to last.

The pendant weighs about 20 grams (0.7 oz) Coin was purchased from Britain's premier ancient coin dealer.

Comes with certificate which guarantees authenticity and provides background information (listed below) on the acquired coin. Indian, Post-Kushan (Jammu and Kashmir) - Kidarite Successors, Vinayaditya Obverse: abstract Kushan style king standing left; ka in Brahmi to left; to right, jaya and monogram of Kidara in Brahmi Reverse: Abstract Ardoxsho seated facing, holding filleted investiture garland and cornucopia; ditya in Brahmi to left, śri vinaya in Brahmi down right Struck 5th-7th century The Kidarites, or Kidara Huns, were a dynasty that ruled Bactria and adjoining parts of Central Asia and South Asia in the 4th and 5th centuries. The Kidarites belonged to a complex of peoples known collectively in India as the Huna, and in Europe as the Chionites (from the Iranian names Xwn/Xyon), and may even be considered as identical to the Chionites. The 5th century Byzantine historian Priscus called them Kidarite Huns, or "Huns who are Kidarites". The Huna/Xionite tribes are often linked, albeit controversially, to the Huns who invaded Eastern Europe during a similar period. They are entirely different from the Hephthalites, who replaced them about a century later. Ardoksho (Bactrian script Αρδοχϸο), also Romanised as Ardochsho, Ardokhsho and Ardoxsho, the Iranic goddess of wealth was a female deity of the Kushan Empire...
