Lot # 146 - ATTICA. Aegina. Stater (Circa 456-431 BC). Obv: Land turtle with segmented shell.Rev: Large square incuse with skew pattern.SNG Delepierre 1775ff.; SNG Copenhagen 516; HGC 6, 437.Aegina's coinage was very important in the Greek world. According to Ephorus, historian from Cyme, it was the first city to mint silver coinage to facilitate the mercantile practices of its inhabitants, who engaged in trade to make up for the poverty of the agricultural soil. Aegina's coinage is certainly among the oldest and played a leading role among the Aegean islands, which adopted its weight for their own coinage. Very widespread is the diffusion of early Staters from the mid-6th century BC, with the sea turtle type remaining a constant throughout production. The only variation is the change to land tortoise that occurred after the defeat suffered against the Athenians in 431, at the beginning of the Peloponnesian War.

Thompson 777ff.; HGC 4, 1602.Among the Greek poleis, Athens is undoubtedly the city that denotes the greatest monetary development. The earliest coinage followed the reforms attributed to Solon on the introduction of Attic weights to replace the Eginetic ones.

These types will last, with variations in style, until the end of silver production (c. mid-1st century). The most noticeable change occurs with the so-called "new style," established from the beginning of the 2nd century BC. In these issues the owl is surrounded by an olive wreath, which is why the tetradrachms are referred to in the inscriptions as "stephanephoroi" (= wreath bearers). Coins of new style also bear inscriptions with the names of magistrates. Condition: Good very fine.Weight: 16.55 g. Diameter: 30 mm.

The earliest coinage followed the reforms attributed to Solon on the introduction of Attic weights to replace the Eginetic ones. These early coins, called "Wappenmünzen," were replaced by the "owls" at the end of the 6th century: tetradrachms marked with the head of Athena and the owl, next to which is now the ethnic of the Athenians. These types will last, with variations in style, until the end of silver production (c. mid-1st century). The most noticeable change occurs with the so-called "new style," established from the beginning of the 2nd century BC. In these issues the owl is surrounded by an olive wreath, which is why the tetradrachms are referred to in the inscriptions as "stephanephoroi" (= wreath bearers). Coins of new style also bear inscriptions with the names of magistrates. Condition: Good very fine.Weight: 16.48 g. Diameter: 31 mm.
