Source for “Kroll 8” Athenian tetradrachm
« on: May 28, 2020, 08:24:51 am »
Hello,
I recently won this beautiful owl at an auction, and would love some help with finding informations. It’s described/categorised as “Kroll 8” and dated to between 440-404 BC, mid-mass coinage issue.
I’ve skimmed through Kroll’s “Athenian Agora” (1993), but couldn’t find any relevant passages. Which work is “Kroll 8” referring to? I have looked at the wiki, and the threads consolidating online resources, as well as the forum for new collectors, but can’t really find any info about the categorisation itself.

Sorry if this is a newbie question, or if I’ve just managed to skip over it while searching through the document. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you kindly for the links, seems I did skip right over it! If you would happen to have any recommendations for further reading on this issue of the coins I would definitely appreciate it :)

Notice that the name Kroll turns blue anytime it is typed here on the Classical Numismatic Discussion. Blue indicates it is a link - click it.
