Silver Tetra Drachma of King Ptolmey I 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 323-283 BCE, the front of this silver tetra drachma shows Soter, known as Ptolmey I, a general under Alexander the Great who ruled Egypt as the first Hellenistic ruler of Egypt and founded the Ptolemaic dynasty. The obverse shows an eagle with wings closed, with inscription in ancient Greek translated as VASILEOS POLEMAIOU or "King of War".

Pendant measures 1.25" in diameter by 1/4" thick and weighs an 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.
