| Aversbeschreibung | Bust of Athena Parthenos facing right, wearing an elaborately decorated Attic helmet adorned with a curvilinear crest, a coiled serpent along the bowl, and a palmette at the visor. The goddess's hair falls in loose locks beneath the helmet, and she wears a delicate earring. The portrait is rendered in the refined Hellenistic style characteristic of the New Style Athenian series, with finely modeled facial features and a beaded border encircling the field. |

| Reversbeschreibung | A standing owl faces right with head turned to face the viewer, perched atop a panathenaic amphora bearing the letter M on its body and ΣΦ below. The magistrates' names flank the central device in the field. To the right, a double cornucopia tied with fillets appears as a symbol. The entire composition is enclosed within an olive wreath, with the ethnic ΑΘΕ inscribed prominently, in keeping with the New Style coinage convention of Athens. |

This piece belongs to the so-called New Style coinage Athens introduced around 196 BC, replacing the archaic "owl" type after roughly three centuries. The magistrate names on New Style tetradrachms — here Aphrodisi..., Dioge..., and Phainnos — identify the three annual officials responsible for each issue, a bureaucratic mechanism that modern scholars have used to construct a remarkably precise chronology of the series. Thompson's 1961 catalogue remains the definitive reference, cross-referencing die links across hundreds of magistrate combinations.
By 120–119 BC, Athens was minting heavily to service trade across the eastern Mediterranean, where Athenian silver still commanded premium acceptance.
