About This Design

Athenian Owl Tetradrachm Coin Ancient Greek Tie

Athenian Owl Tetradrachm Coin Ancient Greek Tie

Feel some ancient Greek vibes with this design of an owl and olive branch, whether you want a souvenir of a trip to Athens, feel inspired by classical history and art, or simply like this timeless (and cute!) owl design, this is for you and your friends. The design is based on the Silver Owl Tetradrachm of Athens, in ancient Greece (5th-century BC). Any coin enthusiast will tell you that this is their favourite ancient coin to collect. It was well-known during ancient times and still stands as a relic of Ancient Greece. In Greek mythology, the owl traditionally represents or accompanies Athena, the virgin goddess of wisdom. Because of such association, the bird — often referred to as the "owl of Athena" has been used as a symbol of knowledge, wisdom, perspicacity, and erudition throughout the Western world. The olive tree is also a symbol of Athena and relates to the myth of the city selecting Athena as its patron saint. The inscription "ΑΘΕ" is an abbreviation of ΑΘΗΝΑΙΩΝ, which may be translated as "of the Athenians". In daily use, the Athenian drachmas were called glaukes (γλαῦκες, owls). You may edit the background colour to any one you like.
