Greek
Ancient Greek coins are among the most celebrated artifacts of classical antiquity, renowned for their artistry and historical significance. Struck between the 6th and 1st centuries BCE, these coins often featured intricate designs depicting gods, goddesses, mythological creatures, and iconic symbols like the owl of Athens or the Pegasus of Corinth. Minted in silver, gold, and bronze, Greek coins were not only a medium of exchange but also a reflection of the cultural and political identity of city-states. Their detailed craftsmanship and connection to ancient history make them timeless treasures in the world of numismatics.
