The owl has appeared on coins since the time of ancient Greece, where it appeared on the coins of Athens—symbolic of Goddess Athena and her companion, the Owl of Wisdom. Throughout history and across cultures, people have had a fascination with owls, although typically associated with wisdom, helpfulness and powers of prophecy.
Most owls are nocturnal, actively hunting for prey under the cover of darkness. Their hunting strategy depends on stealth and surprise. Much to our surprise, we were able to secure a small allotment of these exquisite coins. Struck by Australia’s world-famous Perth Mint in .999 pure gold and measuring 13.9mm, you would be wise to order this coin now before prices go higher! |
