The ancient slang names for the coins of Athens were "owls" and "girls"

"Owls" were so popular as a central currency of the ancient world that the design remained essentially unchanged and somewhat archaic long after other Greek cities began to produce coins of a more refined artistic style.

"Owls" are still very popular. For collectors they are perhaps the most popular ancient coin type.

Obverse: Helmeted head of Athena facing right (archaic style)

Reverse: Owl standing facing with closed wings under an olive sprig. Letters AQE representing first three Greek letters (alpha, theta, and epsilon) of Athens.

Hemidrachm (also called a triobol). Dated 449 -413 BC.

Struck in silver. Weight 2.1 grams. Diameter 11 mm.
