Tetradrachm by an unknown artist. The image shows two sides of a coin. The left side features a woman's head facing right. She has a band across her forehead with hair or a headpiece extending from the band down to her cheek. The right side features an owl standing facing, with its wings folded against its body. The owl has large round eyes, and it holds something in its talons. The background behind the coins is light gray. The coins are dark gray and metallic. The coins are side by side.
