It depends on the particular style of the owl,

Athenian tetradrachms with the owl on them were produce from about 510 BC and ended with the "new style" owl which was last produced in about 42 BC, however other denominations of coins from Athens continued to be produced with owls on them until about 267 AD.

Based on the style of a particular owl, you can generally date the coin to a hundred or so years. Specialty sites and forums can help you with attributing and dating a particular coin.
