ancient greek tetradrachm coins ngc

Description: Syracusan tetradrachm from the Classical period, likely featuring Arethusa on the obverse, with the chariot scene on the reverse. These coins are known for their artistic detail and beauty. Portrait Style (Arethusa or Athena): Syracusan coins depicting the nymph Arethusa or Athena on the obverse were popular during the late 5th century BCE to early 4th century BCE. The left-facing portrait with an outer ring of small decorative triangles, which you described, is consistent with this period. This style was prevalent around 415–400 BCE. Reverse Design (Chariot Scene): The chariot scene on the reverse, especially a quadriga (four-horse chariot), was a common design in Syracusan tetradrachms. This design element often appeared in coins minted during the Classical period (circa 450–400 BCE) and was especially common around the time of the Peloponnesian War and shortly afterward. Weight: At around 16 grams, your coin aligns with the weight of a typical tetradrachm from Syracuse in the late 5th century BCE, as coins were later reduced in weight. Likely Date Range: 415–400 BCEThis period corresponds with the height of artistic coin production in Syracuse, particularly during the rule of the tyrants like Hermocrates and Dionysius I.
