Description
Greek mythology and history appear in Greek jewellery designs. This can be seen in jewellery portraying their deities, people and animals from heroic legends.
Owls were also popular in jewellery and coinage as Athena was the patron goddess of Athens and her symbol was the owl.
This reproduction coin is made from lead-free pewter and is supplied on a waxed cord. The coin has the image of an owl on the obverse and the bust of Athena on the reverse. The information card is full colour on the front and has historical information on the reverse.
