A Modern Recreation of the original Ancient Coin. The Athenian Owl tetradrachm, renamed after the Greek goddess of wisdom, is arguably the most popular and recognized ancient coin. The owl was associated with Athena very early on in archaic artworks and often depicted perching on her hand. Because of its strong connection with the goddess, the owl evolved into the Athenians’ own icon and graced a large variety of coins such as the tetradrachm from as early as the 5th century BC.

The half gram 9999 GOLD coin is struck in silk finish with incredible details and pays tribute to the ancient coins of the past.
