2022 Cook Islands $5 1/2-gm Gold Athena Owl Coin

The Famous Athenian Owl Returns As Modern Gold Coin

The Athena Owl Tetradrachm is among the earliest coins to bear both obverse and reverse designs and is one of the most widely recognized ancient coins. Authorized by the Greek city-state of Athens, they were struck in the fifth century BC primarily as a way to pay tribute to Athena, the goddess of wisdom. Today, these Athena Owl coins are highly valued classics among collectors. President Teddy Roosevelt was said to have carried an Athenian Owl coin in his pocket, which in turn inspired him to order the redesign of U.S. coins in the early 1900s. Now they have returned as the second release in the popular Numismatic Icons Series.

A Lot of Gold In Tiny Package

This legal-tender $5 coin was struck in half a gram of 99.99% pure gold by Germany’s Mayer Mint using Coin Invest Trust (CIT) Big Gold Minting© (BGM) technology. A process that allows tiny amounts of gold to be struck into relatively large sizes. That means this coin was produced using extremely thin planchets that, despite the challenges that would typically accompany the use of such thin planchets, still displays excellent quality, with clean shapes, and sharp designs. The faithful reproduction of the famous Athenian Owl was also struck with a lovely silk finish that provides a soft, satin effect on the coin’s surface. This finish tends to diffuse light more than simply reflecting it, as with the polished surfaces of a proof coin. The effect is sure to illicit gasps of surprise when people first lay their eyes on it!
