[QUOTE="robinjojo, post: 8343961, member: 110226"]Of course there's a wide range of owls that are being attributed to an eastern mint, generally used for owls that clearly are not Athenian but lack more specific information geographically. Here's an example, from Roma E-Sale 54, lot 113. Attica, Athens AR Tetradrachm. Eastern Imitation. Circa 454-404 BC.
