Overview

A bi-metallic coin with a golden outer ring and a silver-colored center. The reverse shown depicts an owl, an image copied from an ancient Athenian 4-drachma coin (5th century BC).

Historical significance

The design of the owl is a tribute to Athens' ancient history and democracy. This coin was part of the initial wave of Euro currency introduced when Greece joined the Eurozone.

Estimated value

$1.00 - $3.00 USD (Circulated value is typically just its face value; some collectors may pay slightly more for specific mint marks).

Care & preservation

Avoid cleaning the coin with chemicals as this can damage the patina and reduce its value for collectors. Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in an acid-free holder.
