"Wappenmünzen" or "Heraldic Coins" are the first coin 
issues that can be attributed to Athens. The series 
consists mostly of Didrachms and smaller denominations, 
none of which bear the name of Athens. 

From the Lawrence R. Stack Collection of Ancient Greek Coins. 
 
Note - a similar type is listed in BMC under Chalkis; on
some sales websites under Olynthos of the Chalcidean 
League.
