| Description |
During the Classical Age, the silver coins of
Athens were particularly prized for their quality
and their beauty. Looking at this superb
example, even after the passage of centuries, it
is easy to understand why. The owl, sacred bird
of the goddess Athena and symbol of wisdom,
that adorns this tetradrachm is an appropriate
image. Whoever wears this superb ring will be
wise indeed, and timelessly in fashion.
