| Aversbeschreibung | Helmeted head of Athena facing right in high relief, wearing a crested Attic helmet with a bowl decorated with elaborate tendril ornament; the visor is surmounted by a griffin in profile and the protomes of four horses arranged above. The portrait displays the characteristic late Hellenistic Athenian New Style treatment, with finely engraved facial features and a serrated helmet rim. |

| Reversbeschreibung | Owl of Athens standing with closed wings and head facing forward, perched to right upon a panathenaic amphora, on which the control letter Δ appears. In the inner left field, an anchor points downward with a star to its right; the ethnic abbreviation ME appears below the amphora. The magistrates' names are inscribed in the fields, and the entire design is enclosed within an olive wreath border, consistent with the New Style tetradrachm type introduced circa 165 BC. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
By the mid-second century BC, Athens had long lost genuine political weight but retained enormous commercial reach, and the New Style tetradrachm was the instrument of that influence. Issued under a magistrate-controlled system that stamped each issue with the names of responsible officials, Thompson 363g falls within a tightly dated sequence Margaret Thompson spent decades reconstructing from hoard evidence — her 1961 corpus remains the definitive reference.
The series was struck on broad, thin flans specifically to facilitate die inspection, a practical response to earlier counterfeiting problems that had plagued Athenian silver in the eastern Mediterranean markets.
