Athena on Ancient Greek Coinage - Symbolism and Artistry #11906 (License: Personal Use)

This black-and-white line illustration reproduces a classical Greek coin design, likely a silver tetradrachm, featuring the goddess Athena in right-facing profile. Her Corinthian-style helmet is decorated with a coiled serpent (representing guardianship) and an olive wreath (symbolizing peace and wisdom), while her hair flows in elegant curls beneath. The engraving captures Hellenistic attention to anatomical detail and symbolic ornamentation typical of 5th-4th century BCE Athenian minting.
