The coins could possibly be of Greek origin by all appearances. The owl was closely associated with 'Pallas Athene', the goddess of wisdom, and was assigned as her companion in ancient times. Therefore the owl was also mint onto Greek coins. The first coinage has been dated to 501 B.C. and came all along the way to contemporary Iran from the former Macedonia by Alexander the Great.
