During the Classical Age, the silver coins of Athens were particularly prized for their quality and their beauty. Looking at this superb example, even after the passage of centuries, it is easy to understand why. The owl, sacred bird of the goddess Athena and symbol of wisdom, that adorns this tetradrachm is an appropriate image. Whoever wears this superb ring will be wise indeed, and timelessly in fashion. - (FJ.2839)
