"Drachm" is fortunately pronounched only "dram", so don't worry about the intimidating spelling. This four drachm coin is rather large, bigger than a quarter in the long axis, and three or four times thicker. When you have one of these in your hand, you know it! Nominally it was graded VF, or very fine, but some un-trusting soul in ancient times wanted assurance that it wasn't counterfeit (always a problem in ancient times), and took a chisel to it. Once he had seen for himself that it was silver all the way through, he'd unfortunately damaged the coin for future collectors! But that was my good luck. Ordinarily such a coin would run several hundred dollars at least! But because the chisel cut into the coin in such a ill-favoured spot, the price was closer to a single hundred. On the left side, the obverse shows the head of Athena, the patron goddess of Athens. The reverse shows the owl, sacred to Athena, a sprig from the olive tree (the olive and its oil was the original font of Athen's wealth), and a crescent moon. The letters spell out alpha, theta, epsilon, or ATHE for Athens. This particular coin was dated to a period between 393 and 300 BC. The ancient Greek philosopher Aristole was alive in that era and might have bought kebabs with this very coin!
