This genuine ancient coin has been mounted in a
stunning modern 18 karat gold pendant studded
with diamonds and a ruby.
Minted by the successor of Alexander the Great,
this exquisite coin evokes the wealth and glory of
the classical world at its height. On one side it
bears the youthful head of the hero Herakles,
while on the reverse Zeus, King Of The Gods, is
shown enthroned in majesty. The glow of the
ancient silver is set to perfection by the radiant
fire of diamonds, the sheen of gold, and the rich
red of ruby. This splendid jewel would have
caused a sensation in the palaces of ancient
Alexandria or Antioch; it is certain to be equally
dazzling wherever it is worn today.
