Greece, Athenian Owl, Golf Ball Markers, Free Shipping, Drachma

Greek 2 drachma, Athenian owl, coin golf ball marker clip. Can be worn as a hat or belt clip. Coin is the same size as a U.S. quarter.

The owl was the symbol of goddess Athena and it was first depicted on an ancient Greek tetradrachm (5th century b.C.). Athena was patron of the crafts, wisdom and battle. She became the patron goddess of the city of Athens, in a competition with Poseidon. They agreed that each would give the Athenians one gift and the Athenians would choose whichever gift they preferred.

Poseidon struck the ground with his trident and a spring sprung up; the water was salty and not very useful, whereas Athena offered them an olive tree. The Athenians (or their king, Cecrops) accepted the olive tree and along with it Athena as their patron, for the olive tree brought wood, oil and food.

The coin is turned into a beautiful golf Ball marker that is held onto an antique gold colored hat clip with the strongest of magnets available. For that golfer that has almost everything. These can also be clipped onto your belt. The perfect gift for that special man or woman.

Each one of these quality handcrafted 2-toned gold on silver real coins from around the world is first layered in pure bright silver, then the figures of each are highlighted and brought to life with rich pure 24K gold. This breathtaking and exclusive handwork turns these coins into stunning and true works of art. The resulting jewelry is electrosealed with Tarnavoid in a clear, hard acrylic coating to protect against tarnishing and wear to make sure your jewelry lasts a lifetime.

NOTE: The gold & silver is much, much brighter and distinct than what the scanned photos show. Each of our products is shipped in a nice jewelry box.
