EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite coin, dating back to the ancient Greek city-state of Athens during the golden age of Pericles (495-429 BC), showcases a striking portrait of the renowned statesman and politician, Pericles. The square shape and vibrant colors of the coin add to its aesthetic appeal, making it a prized possession for collectors of Greek art and ancient history. Pericles was a pivotal figure in Athenian politics, known for his influential policies and institutions that shaped the city-state during the 5th century BC. He played a significant role in the Greco-Persian Wars, leading Athens through the Second and Third Persian Wars with great success. Pericles' political acumen and visionary leadership helped to establish Athens as a cultural and intellectual center of the ancient world. The obverse side of the coin features a portrait of Pericles, with his distinctive features and facial hair rendered in intricate detail. The reverse side of the coin displays the owl of Athena, the goddess of wisdom and protector of Athens. This coin not only serves as a testament to Pericles' political legacy but also to the artistic and cultural achievements of ancient Greece. The coin's historical significance extends beyond the realm of Greek history, as it offers a glimpse into the political, social, and artistic climate of ancient Athens during the age of Pericles. This artifact is a reminder of the enduring influence of ancient Greek culture and the rich history that continues to inspire and captivate us today.
