|Athens|, |Athens,| |Attica,| |Greece,| |c.| |393| |-| |355| |B.C.,| |Early| |Transitional| |Tetradrachm|, The early transitional tetradrachms introduced a more natural, eye-in-profile, and more feminine portrait. The early transitional type continued the a relatively naturalistic form of the floral ornament, similar to that on the classical tetradrachms. This type can be distinguised from the later Pi-Style tetradrachms by the higher position of the A on the reverse. On Pi-Style tetradrachms the left side of the A never extends above the notch between the owl's body and neck.
