This coin is an example of the very first issue of New Style Athenian tetradrachms, without symbol, and is very rare. Neither Beulé nor Svoronos was aware of it, but there was one in the Lambros collection, and in 1935 several further specimens turned up in the Anthedon Hoard. Of particular note is the inclusion of a minute biga with or without driver on the neckguard of Athena's helmet. As it does appear on another later New Style tetradrachm, it should probably be interpreted as a die-cutter's signature. Estimated Value $500 - 600. View details and enlarged photos
