Silver Diva Faustina the Elder Dinar Coin Necklace

Wear a piece of ancient history. 

A bronze coin found in an archeological dig in Israel, selected by me from the collection of a Jerusalem coin dealer I have known since I was 4 years old, is custom framed in a burnished sterling silver bezel to show both sides and suspended on an 18" oxidized sterling silver rope chain. 

Minted in the Second Century CE, the front of this silver dinar shows a draped bust of Diva Faustina the Senior, wife of Antoninus Pius, aunt of Emperor Marcus Aurelius. Diva in latin means divine.  The bust is surrounded with the inscription DIVA FAVSTINA, with the obverse showing Faustina standing holding a globe and frond, with inscription AETER NITAS meaning eternity, surrounding. 

Pendant measures 15/16" in diameter by 1/8" thick and weighs .5 ounce, suspended from an 18" oxidized rope chain necklace. Comes with a certificate of authenticity from the numismatist in Jerusalem. 

Coin from Israel, pendant custom made in MA, chain made in the US.
