Silver Emperor Claudius II Augustus Coin Necklace


$849.95

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 in the Second Century CE, the front of the coin shows a crowned bust of Emperor Claudius II with the inscription Claudius AVG surrounding, with the obverse showing the sun god Sol holding a whip with hand upraised in benediction, inscription SOL AVG surrounding. 

Pendant measures 1" in diameter by 3/16" 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.
