Silver Tetra Drachma of Pallas Athena Coin Necklaces

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 the 4th and 5th Centuries BCE, the front of this silver tetra drachma (worth 10 drachmas) shows an owl, the symbol of Pallas Athena, goddess of bravery, wisdom and strategy. The symbol of the ancient city of Athens, the coin is stamped with AOE, meaning "of the Athenians", indicating the origin of the coin. The reverse side has been rubbed smooth. 

Pendant measures 1 1/8" 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.
