Reverse description Owl of Athena (Athena noctua) standing in three-quarter view facing right, with head turned to face the viewer frontally, rendered in bold high relief within a recessed square incuse. The plumage is rendered in fine detail with incised feathering across the breast and wings. To the upper right, an olive sprig with berry appears, symbolising the sacred tree of Athena; below it, a crescent moon. To the right of the owl, the ethnic inscription ΑΘΕ appears in archaic Greek lettering, identifying the coin as an issue of Athens.
