While the origins of coinage remain a mystery, the use of coins as currency dates back as early as 650 BC. Over the centuries, coin designs and minting techniques evolved tremendously. Yet one coin stands out as particularly influential the iconic Athenian Tetradrachm.

History
In ancient times, the Tetradrachm was one of the most widely used and influential coins across Greece and the Mediterranean world. It was equivalent to four drachmas in value. Tetradrachms were minted by hammering designs onto heated planchets using iron dies that were chiseled by hand. While many designs were featured on the Tetradrachm, the most well-known is the Athenian Tetradrachm. These coins displayed Athena in right-profile relief on the obverse and the Athenian Owl on the reverse.
