This example is from Pontos, Amisos. The owl on my coin looks more like a skeletal bat...

this coin has a lovely dark tone which just doesn't show up on the photo, more's the pity.

both holding lizards,  cool!
I particularly like the bottom owl,  but the top one has a great patina.

Here's an Athenian owl I bought a few months ago, and which I'm very pleased with.
I'm posting here to revive this topic, so please add yours too.  🙂

This one comes with a story...

Every Friday night for the past 10 years I have gone to a nearby wildlife reserve to look at the stars. The back road there passes La Chouette winery, whose logo is an owl (naturally).
A few weeks ago, right after I had ordered this coin I was passing the winery when I saw an owl just standing on the centerline, and he still just stood there as I drove by!
Must be a sign, right? 🙂
