COLLECTOR’S Grade Item 

This exceptional Ancient Greek Tetrobol represents a significant piece of numismatic history from the classical world. Minted in Abdera, Thrace between 395-360 BC, this ⅔ drachm denomination coin showcases the sophisticated artistry of Hellenistic coinage during a prosperous era of Greek city-states.

The coin’s obverse features a striking griffin in mid-spring—a symbol of divine power and protection—while the reverse displays the laureate head of Apollo, reflecting the religious significance of this coinage. Crafted with a copper-nickel base enhanced with precious silver particles, this 47-gram collector’s piece demonstrates authentic ancient metallurgical practices.

What makes this tetrobol particularly valuable to serious numismatists is its rarity and historical context. Abdera’s coins are among the most sought-after Greek coinages due to limited surviving specimens and their connection to important Thracian-Greek commerce networks. The presence of magistrate markings in Greek lettering adds authentication and provenance. As a collector-grade item at an exceptional price point, this coin serves both as an investment-worthy artifact and a tangible connection to ancient Mediterranean civilization—far superior to the replica souvenirs flooding modern markets.
