Vintage Love token brooch Greek coin athena Owl grecian medallion estate jewelry .It is believed that the love token originated in Great Britain as early as the 13th century with the practice of bending coins. Athena Tetradrachm originally minted 431-413 BC depicting the wise owl. The inscription reads ΑΘΕ, a monogram attributed to the goddess Athena (ΑΘΗΝΑ), the virgin goddess of wisdom, who was also the protectress of the city of Athens. Head of Athena right, wearing round earring and crested Attic helmet ornamented with three olive leaves above visor and spiral palmette on bowl. Almond shaped almond eye as in archaic depictions of the goddess. What better way to give a gift than something unique and vintage. Here is something for the men or women that have everything! This would be a great idea because it is Vintage and not something you can buy everyday. OR perhaps just a perfect addition to a collection. They may have a little wear ( if any) but they sure have a lot of love that came with them when they were first bought. Boxed for gift giving; gift wrapped on request. ∆ Maker: Alva museum replica ∆ Material:silver or pewter like metal. ∆ Size: see photo ∆ Condition: Because these are vintage and pre-worn they are not considered new from the factory,please see photos for any wear or there may be light surface scratches that don’t show up unless you hold them to the light. ) .Sold as is and priced accordingly.. ∆ Lovely patina!
