The piece found its way to the museum together with the coin collection of Walery C. Amrogowicz (1863\u20131931). It was Professor Mariusz Mielczarek, who originally recognized and published the item. The aim of this article is to publish some new information about the piece. First of all, it has been established that the coin came from the former collection of Jean P. Lambros (1843\u20131909), a well-known dealer in antiquities from Athens, and had originally been found in Egypt. Some remarks concerning the minting activity of Sabakes are also presented. The iconography, purpose and output of the satrap\u2019s silver and bronze coins are analyzed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Key words:<\/strong> Sabakes, \u201cowl\u201d, satrap, Egypt, minting<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>DOI: <\/strong>https:\/\/doi.org\/10.52800\/ajst.1.16.a3<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bodzek, J. 2021. \u201cThe Sabakes\u2019 \u201cOwl\u201d from the Collection of the District Museum in Toru\u0144 and Some Notes on the Coinage of the Penultimate Achaemenid Satrap of Egypt\u201d, <em>Notae Numismaticae \u2013 Zapiski Numizmatyczne<\/em> 16: 77\u201396.
