4094. A UNIQUE AND HIGHLY IMPORTANT COIN LINKING ATHENIAN WAPPENMUNZEN AND OWLS. ATTICA, ATHENS, c. 515-510 BC. AR fraction, 0.87 gm., Unpublished, Sear_, SNG Copenhagen_, Plant_, SNG ANS_. Head of bull facing/Owl stg. l. AQE to l., olive berry to r., all within incuse square. F. An extremely interesting coin. The obverse bucranium is well known on the "Wappenmünzen" series of ca. 545-515 BC (cf. Svoronos, Corpus of the Ancient Coins of Athens, pl. 1, 45) but here the reverse is consistently a diagonally divided incuse square. The first "owls" with a head of Athena on obverse appear to have been introduced about 510 BC (cf. Svoronos pl. 2, 54-9 for fractions with a reverse type similar to this piece), but there seems to be no other known example of an overlap of types between these two distinct series. My thanks to David Sear, working from the image, for the attribution given. UNIQUE AND HIGHLY IMPORTANT, ONLY ONE EXAMPLE KNOWN! $12,500 estimate.
