| Reverse description | Reverse depicting a stylized owl standing right with head facing, imitating the canonical New Style or classical Athenian tetradrachm type. An olive spray is indicated to the upper left of the owl, and the abbreviated Greek ethnic legend AΘE appears to the right, though execution is crude and consistent with the schematic engraving characteristic of a contemporary counterfeit. The flan is irregular in outline, and surface detail is heavily abraded, reflecting the inherently lower quality of the fouree striking process over a base-metal core. |
