Wonderful Greek coin (Thessaly, Pharsalos) is a silver hemidrachm of approximately 16MM, from circa 424-405/4BC. The reverse, facing up, depicts a horse for which this area was famed. The obverse, facing down, depicts the goddess Athena, wearing a crested Attic helmet, decorated with Skylla. Much has been written of Athena, starting with her birth, in which she springs from her father's Zeus' head, fully armored. This coin is set in a modern ring mounting of 14K gold. The size is 10 1/2 and it weighs 11.8 grams.
