This enlarged replica of a Greek coin featuring an owl is made of resin. It depicts an owl holding an olive branch and bearing the inscription "AOE." The back is fitted with a magnet. The package includes an information card about the goddess Athena and her owl.
Greek coins that depicted Athena on one side and her owl on the other were called “owls.” Athena is the goddess of wisdom and warfare and the patron goddess of the city of Athens, where these coins were minted.
In Roman mythology, Minerva is the goddess of wisdom and strategic warfare, and the protector of the arts, crafts, and commerce. From the 2nd century B.C. onward, the Romans identified her with the Greek goddess Athena.
