Athens, silver didrachm852 viewsesnible noted and quoted from Coin Archives: Athens didrachms are very rare. One sold two years ago for $15,000. Four will be worth at least $60,000! "the total of known Athenian didrachms is 42, with only 10 in private hands and three unaccounted for." "among the most sought after of Greek Coins"
Curtis Clay noted: Style of owl in particular is not right, and incuse square surrounding owl is not deep enough. Surely modern dies.

Struck from modern dies. Purports to be a rare "Wappenmunze" didrachm of Athens. The obverse, however, is distinctly copied from a stater of Macedonia Neapolis (cf. Fig. 2) with its typical protruding tongue. On the Athens gorgoneia, the tip of the tongue never reaches beyond the chin (cf. Fig 3)
