Description: Museum Specimen Coin: Silver Greek Tetradrachm of Attalus I Soter, Mysia, Kings of Pergamon Solid Silver Coin The tetradrachm (Greek: τετράδραχμον, translit. tetrádrachmon) was a large silver coin that originated in Ancient Greece. It was nominally equivalent to four drachmae, worth four times a man's daily wage for a skilled labourer or for a hoplite soldier, or two days' pay for a sculptor working on a public building. Over time the tetradrachm effectively became the standard coin of the Antiquity, spreading well beyond the borders of the Greek World.The images on early Greek coins give us a lot of information about Ancient Greek life and culture. For exampleimages of sacred and important buildings and temples, show us what their buildings looked like thousands ofyears ago. Coins were not just money, but propaganda or a means of communicating civic pride. Coins arevaluable, durable and pass through many hands. Without newspapers or other mass media, they were an idealway of spreading a political message. Philétaire, a eunuch, was the first keeper of the treasure of Lysimachus Pergamum, treasure more than 9,000 talents more than 54 million drachmas. He betrayed his master to Seleucus I and became independent in 282 BC Attalus was the cousin or nephew Philétaire. He fought successfully Galatians and Antiochus Hierax. Faithful ally of the Romans who helped him against the expansionist ambitions of Philip V of Macedon, he died at the beginning of the conflict between Antiochus III the Great. Description: Obv.
