Watch List notes:

Attica. Athens. c. 470/65 BC. Tetradrachm, 17.00g (1h). Obv: Helmeted head of Athena right. Rx: ΑΘΕ Owl standing right, head facing, with olive sprig and crescent behind. Starr Group IIA, 20 (same dies). Starr Group IIA lists only eight coins, one of which is cut in half. This, like the last lot, is one of the earliest Athenian tetradrachms with a crescent moon, but it aleady looks much more like the standard Athenian tetradrachms that were to follow. Very well-centered with nearly a full crest on the obverse. Good VF



Issued along with the decadrachms, this tetradrachm was either struck for the Athenian general Kimon's campaign in southern Asia Minor, or it may have been produced fromf the booty from the battle near river Eurymedon (c. 467 BC)
