The Athenian owl coin was the first currency that was widely recognised and used in international trade. It is possibly the most influential coin in history, both in terms of its longevity (in circulation for over 300 years) and its contribution to the traditions of coinage. It was minted with the 'head' of Athena goddess of Athens on one side, and a 'tail', her sacred owl, on the other.
