Ticket says ...
Athens Æ Athena / owl on amphora

Not so sure I see an amphora
But it does look like Athens !

BTW
reverse of ticket says "? Athens" !
So perhaps my 'benefactor' had some doubts

Not the prettiest Æ but when it comes to Athens one need compromise a little

Cool one! It does look like an issue from the time of Augustus, which would make that a prow not an amphora: https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/coins/1/1310

Yes yes .
You nailed this one !
I spent over an hour chasing my tail yesterday !
Had all but given up on Athens
Was starting to assume it was an Athens type from Sicily or elsewhere
But I do believe you are spot on and !
Many many thanx !!
