Greek, Arabia, silver drachm c. 4th century BC, in style of Athens, Athena/Owl. 4.01 g.
The coinage of Athens was renowned around the ancient world for its fineness and strict weight standard. As far away as Arabia, local rulers would have coinage struck in the types of the city in the hope that their coinage would thus be acceptable for trade across the known world.
VF+, reverse struck off-centre. Rare.
cf. Kroll 10 for prototype.
