The Athenian Owl tetradrachm design isnt one that is plucked from recent history in the 19th or 20th century, but rather, is one that was brought back to life more than 2,000 years after it was last struck in circulation on currency. Developed in Ancient Greece, the Athenian Owl is a mythical design that has been brought back across thousands of years of time to feature on a Niuean coin.
