Attic Tetradrachm with Athena and Owl (454–404 BC)
The Attic tetradrachm with the owl motif was minted in Athens between 454 and 404 BC and ranks among the most famous silver coins of antiquity. The obverse shows the head of the goddess Athena, patron of the city and symbol of wisdom and strategy. On the reverse, her sacred owl appears beside an olive branch and a crescent, with the letters “ΑΘΕ” indicating its Athenian origin. These coins played a central role in the trade of the Delian League and reflect the cultural and economic power of classical Athens. The saying “carrying owls to Athens” still recalls their abundance in antiquity.
