Silver Tetrobols From Ancient Greece. XF Condition!

Silver "Nymphs" Of Histiaia - 340 to 170BC!


These beautiful little silver coins from ancient Greece depict the head of the lovely nymph Histiaia. These tetrobols, or literally "four obol", coins were struck in the important commercial city of Histiaia, named after the nymph which was the local city goddess. Histiaia was found on the Greek island of Euboia, which lies just off the eastern mainland. The tetrobols weigh an average of about 2.3 grams and probably traded in the market place as half a drachma when worn. The reverse depicts the same nymph as a full figure seated near the stern of an Greek galley. These coins were struck for 170 years and were obviously a very important part of the small change used in Greece during that time.
