Parthenon and Athenian Owl

Greek "Owls" were first struck in Athens around 500 BC...Athena's symbol, the owl, now an international symbol of wisdom. The letters 'AOE'--or more precisely, "Alpha Theta Epsilon" or "Athe"--form an abbreviation of "Athens".

Version of a paper clip. One side is a raised replica of the 4th century temple, Parthenon. The Parthenon symbolises power and influence. The other side is a raised replica of the ancient 7th century symbol of an owl and olive branch that brings wealth and good luck.
