Reverse description Two owls standing confronted face-to-face in the field, their plumage rendered in compact, incuse style consistent with emergency issue coinage. An olive branch is placed between the two birds in the central field. The legend AΘE appears, identifying the issuing city-state of Athens, and the overall composition reflects the reduced but iconographically consistent style of the 407–406 BC gold emergency issues struck under financial pressure during the Peloponnesian War.
