ATTICA, Athens. Circa 500/490-485/0 BC. AR Tetradrachm (20.5mm, 17.50 g, 12h). Head of Athena right, with frontal eye / Owl standing right, head facing; olive spray to left; all within incuse square. Seltman Group Gii, 254–5 var. (A–/P205 [unlisted obv. die]); Asyut Group IVi; HGC 4, 1590. Attractive cabinet tone, off center on obverse. Near EF.

Although the obverse is not in Seltman's die study, it is extremely similar to his A168, which was paired with reverse die P205 (Seltman 255). Thus, the dies were likely engraved by the same hand.
