Description

Coinage of Ancient Athens Athens was among the first Greek cities who cut their own coins. The silver mines at Lavrion had ample supplies of silver. The early coins had no inscriptions and bore only emblems. During the 6th century BC, Athenians struck their new tetradrachm with the head of their patron deity, goddess Athena on the observe and the Owl, the goddess' sacred bird, the bird of wisdom, on the reverse, and the name of the city. This design was not changed for over 400 years. In the beginning of the second century BC, they created the "new style".Ancient Greek Money and CoinsMoney in form of coins is as strange as sounds one of the main reasons for the scientific revolution that started in the Ionian Greek islands. It abstracted the value of commodities or objects in exchange and helped to initiate a new mode of abstract thinking. It also was important for political changes: from the aristocratic to the system of tyrants (often wealthy persons) and then to the democratic system.Development of the Athenian Silver Tetradrachma and the Greek 1 Euro version today. Athena and the Owl (Who brings owls to Athens Aristophanes Birds.Little Owl (Athene noctua)For a period of 1000 years and considering the small cities states and the colonies we can assume that there exists a rich set of different coins. The drachma (drachmi) was a currency that also the new Greek State adopted and that is now replaced by the EURO. This ends the history of the drachma which lasted for more than 1 millennium.drachma (pl. drachmae) (Dracmi) talent (talanto)obolos (pl. oboloi) (lat. obolus) (obolos), "I shall not have to pay an obolus of all the debts I have contracted on your account. Aristophanes, Clouds (The Germans use to say "seinen Obolus entrichten,.... to pay his obolus"...)"mina or mna (pl. minae) (man)Money was divided in :1 talent = 60 minae = 6000 drachmae = 36000 oboloiVariants didrachma (didrachmo) or stater (statiras), tetradrachma (tetradrachmo) (with Athena and the owl or short "owl"), decadrachma (2, 4 and 10 drachmae respectively), chalkoi (1/8 obolos)Also other smaller weights:tetrobol = 4 oboloi triobol = 3 oboloi diobol = 2 oboloi trihemiobol = 1 oboloi tritartemorion = 3/4 oboloi hemiobol = 1/2 oboloi trihemitartemorion = 3/8 oboloi tetartemorion =1/4 oboloi hemitartemorion =1/8 oboloiMany Greek coins seems not to have any number showing their value like today coins (it was specified by the weight). The variety is very large and many coins show animals, goats, eagles, horses, owls, the Pegasus or strange creatures like the man-headed bull (River god Gela/ Sicily).This product is manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media.
