Helmeted head of Athena right / Owl standing right, head facing; olive sprig and crescent behind, AΘE to right; all within incuse square. Kroll 8. SNG Copenhagen 31. Struck on an immense flan, showing everything on the reverse and a full crest on the obverse. NGC AU 5/5 - 4/5. Though seemingly of the common style of the late 5th century BC, NGC has identified this coin as a very late transitional issue, and so we follow their dating scheme here.
