The Athenian Owl:
Over two millennia ago, the Athenian Owl Tetradrachm reigned as one of the most influential coins globally. The owl embodies strength, wisdom, and insight. In the modern era, “AOE” carries the profound meaning of “Alethia Orno Eternia,” signifying truth, honor, and eternity.
In ancient Greek mythology, the goddess Athena was often depicted with an owl perched on her shoulder, serving as a harbinger of truth and a symbol of wisdom and knowledge. In certain versions of the myth, the owl illuminated Athena’s “blind side,” allowing her to perceive the complete truth. Owls were closely linked to Athena’s blessings, and Greek soldiers considered the sight of owls before battle as a sign that the goddess favored their cause.
