| Beschrijving keerzijde | A richly detailed panoramic cityscape of ancient Athens rendered in deeply sculpted high relief, depicting a sweeping aerial perspective of the city as it may have appeared in antiquity. The Acropolis with the Parthenon crowns the rocky hill at upper right, while a dense arrangement of temples, colonnaded public buildings, city walls, trees, and monuments fills the middle and lower fields with remarkable topographic precision. A dramatic sky with billowing clouds occupies the upper left quadrant, populated with birds in flight, lending a sense of atmospheric depth. The inscription ATHENS arcs across the upper field in serif lettering. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Athens issue is part of the Royal Mint's ongoing "Ancient Britain" series, which draws on pre-Roman Celtic coinage traditions rather than classical Greek sources — the "Athens" designation refers to the owl stater's influence on early British Iron Age coins, not to any direct Athenian minting connection. Roughly 5th–4th century BC Athenian tetradrachms circulated so widely across trade routes that they became a template copied by tribes across Gaul and southern Britain, producing increasingly abstracted imitations that numismatists still debate in terms of regional attribution.
