Ancient Greek, Hellenistic Silver Coin pendant

I offer this Attic Tetradrachm set as a pendant/ 454 - 404 BC. Goddess of protection – Pallas Athena. She stands for wisdom, strategy, and warfare. Helmeted head of Athena, right. Owl, to the right, standing, head turned, behind it an olive branch and a crescent. Abbreviation = AOE = in a square. That means: AOENAION = (the Athenian / the coin belongs to the city of Athens). Special feature: three leaves on the headband. Hand struck, unique piece… made of silver. Very good condition / VZ. Set in a solid silver frame with a bail (portable). Stamped: with a punch / 925 silver. Diameter: including bail = 50 mm. Total weight: 41 g. Coin: diameter = 22 mm. The coin comes from an old collection, acquired in 1960 in Germany. Purchased by me in 2022. The seller guarantees that they have the right to sell the item and to export it. No delivery outside the EU.
