ATTICA, Athens. Circa 454-404 BC. AR Tetradrachm (25mm, 17.15 g, 5h).

XXIII, 1–3; Kroll 8; HGC 4, 1597. Toned, minor scratches. VF. Well centered, showing nearly full crest. Early post-454 issue. The certain elements of the style of this tetradrachm, particularly the palmette on Athena's helmet and the stance of the owl, suggest that this coin was among the earliest issues in the ubiquitous "frontal eye"/classical tetradrachms of the mid-late 5th century at Athens, as these features more closely resemble those found on the later groups of early-mid 5th century issues analyzed by Chester Starr.

ATTICA, Athens. Circa 364-362 BC. Æ Token (10.5mm, 1.51 g, 6h). Helmeted head of Athena left / Owl standing facing on barley grain; two pellets flanking; all within hanging olive branches. Sheedy, Emergency, Fig. 3; Kroll 35; HGC 4, –. Dark green-brown patina. Fine. Rare. This issue has been identified as that struck by the Athenian commander Timotheos during his siege of Olynthos, as noted in Oikonomika 2.23.1. Timotheos ran out of official coinage and struck this bronze issue to provide his troops with money to buy rations, promising to redeem them later in silver. Sheedy notes that these are not actually coins, but tokens modelled on the Athenian symbola, as he lacked the authority to strike coinage from the Athenian assembly.
