Ancient Egyptian coin from Naukratis dated 500 – 400 BC

Roughly circular silver coin, with the head of Athena on one side, and her symbol the owl on the other. To the left of the owl is part of an olive branch, and to its right the Greek letters AOE. Possibly a tetradrachem of Athens. The coin appears to have been laquered at some point in modern times, giving it a fake quality.
