According to Chester Starr, as the owl on this tetradrachm is shown with its three tail feathers in a single prong it should be grouped firmly with the "mass coinage" issues of Athenian tetradrachms dated 454-404 BC, but the very lifelike depiction we are given places it very close to the last issues of Starr's Group V.B, struck circa 460-454 BC.
