| Reverse description | Athena's sacred owl (Athene noctua) depicted standing facing, with head turned to face the viewer, rendered in high relief within a square incuse frame. The feathers of the wings and body are rendered with fine engraved detail, and the large round eyes are prominently articulated. To the upper left of the owl, an olive sprig with two leaves and a berry is visible, accompanied by a crescent moon to the upper right. The ethnic inscription ΑΘΕ appears to the right of the owl in archaic Greek letters, identifying the issuing city of Athens. |
