Silver Drachma of Alexander the Great Coin Necklace
Wear a piece of ancient history.
A silver 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 between 336-323 BCE, the front of this silver drachma shows Heracles, from whom Alexander the Great traced his lineage, wearing the skin of the Nemean lion, famously killed by Heracles in the first of his 12 labors. The back of the coin shows Zeus seated on a backless throne, holding an eagle on his right hand, a scepter in his left.
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.
