History

Throughout the ancient Greek world, the Tetradrachm was one of the most widely used and influential denominations. Each Tetradrachm equaled four drachmas in value. The most well-known Tetradrachm was the Athenian Tetradrachm which was so popular that it was even used by Greek cities that didnt agree with Athens politically. These coins showed the Athenian Owl on the reverse with a portrait of Athena on the obverse.
