Silver Emperor Severus Alexander 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 crowned bust of youthful Emperor Severus Alexander with a radiate crown, a sign of divine favor from the god Sol with the inscription SEVERVS PIVS AVG surrounding, with the obverse showing Jupiter standing holding a scepter in his right hand, a thunderbolt in his left, with inscription PMTRP COS III PP 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.
