• Obverse (left side): The profile of the goddess Athena is prominently displayed. Athena is adorned with a crested helmet, decorated with a floral motif or emblem.

The image shows a close-up view of two sides of an ancient silver coin set against a black background. On the left side, we see the obverse of the coin, which features a detailed profile portrait of a woman wearing a helmet adorned with olive leaves. This figure is likely to be Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom and warfare. The design is stamped or engraved with fine detail, showing facial features and ornamental patterns on the helmet.

On the right side is the reverse of the coin. It depicts an owl, which is an attribute and symbol associated with Athena. The owl is sharply detailed, standing on a surface with its body facing forward and head turned slightly to the side, displaying its prominent eyes. Next to the owl, there is an olive sprig, a symbol of peace. Below the owl, there are tail feathers, and around the owl are some abbreviated Greek inscriptions or letters. The owl and other details are enclosed within the coin’s circular shape, creating a symmetry with the frontal view of Athena on the opposite side.

Alongside the coin on the right, there is a series of measurement lines labeled with centimeters (cm) to provide scale, although no specific length is indicated.

This is an ancient Athenian tetradrachm coin, one of the most famous coins from classical Greece. The coin has two sides:

On the obverse (front) side, there is a profile portrait showing the goddess Athena wearing her characteristic helmet decorated with olive leaves and a curled design.

On the reverse (back) side is the iconic owl of Athens, which was Athena's sacred bird. The owl is depicted standing upright with its wings closed and head facing forward. Next to the owl, you can see what appears to be the letters "ΑΘΕ" (AΘE in Greek), which stands for "of the Athenians," and an olive sprig, which was a symbol of Athens.

The coin appears to be made of silver and shows the characteristic high relief and fine detail work typical of ancient Greek coinage. These tetradrachms were minted in Athens during the 5th-4th centuries BCE and were widely used in trade throughout the ancient Mediterranean world due to their reliable silver content and recognizable design.
