In Greek mythology, a little owl (Athene noctua) traditionally represents or accompanies Athena or Minerva her syncretic incarnation in Roman mythology the virgin goddess of wisdom, war, strength, crafts, justice and skill she is the archetype of a strong, brave woman, boldly striding across life, whose greatest strength is her outstanding intelligence.
The ancient Athenian tetradrachm of the 5th century BC brings the image of the owl, a copy of the Athenian tetradrachm is in the currency of Hellenic one euro.
Because of such association, the bird — often referred to as the "owl of Athena" or the "owl of Minerva" — has been used as a symbol of knowledge, wisdom, perspicacity and erudition throughout the Western world. Goddess Athena Nike victory coins were made in Athens.
The impressive process of manufacturing coins in the Greek world has been a valuable asset to archaeologists. Greek coins of particular poleis or city-states often carried specific designs which were used for centuries, becoming instantly recognizable symbols of that city. Gods and figures from Greek mythology were especially popular.

Filled with symbols and meanings, ancient Greek coins are some of the first coins ever minted, and feature legendary Gods, Heroes, classical art, and unique, subtle details that celebrate the civilization that still impacts us every day.
