The replica of the Athenian tetradrachm (Greek: τετράδραχμον) recalls the time when similar silver coins were used as the main currency of the Greek world. The silver coin was in circulation between 510 and 38 BC and was used in payment throughout the ancient Greek world.
On one side you will find the face of Athena, on the other a square field with an owl and the city's mark. The shape and proportions correspond to the classical tetradrachms, although the material is deliberately different.
The replica is suitable for collectors, reconstructors and those who want to hold an object associated with ancient culture. It has a solid appearance and the relief is easy to read, making it suitable as a display for schools or for presenting historical motifs. Thanks to its double-sided design, it is easy to connect its appearance with the story that has accompanied Athens through the centuries.
