I love the owl and will eventually put together a set of all the denominations of Athenian owls.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://imageshack.com/a/img923/1112/i2r1hl.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://imageshack.com/a/img923/3483/1E16F5.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="https://imageshack.com/a/img922/913/QWSAcJ.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://imageshack.com/a/img922/1544/wx3h1t.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>ATTICA, Athens.
