Authentic Bronze Byzantine Coin Necklace – 10th Century with Diamond Bar Accent
This remarkable necklace features an authentic bronze Byzantine coin from the 10th century, known as an "anonymous follis." Unlike earlier coins that depicted emperors, these coins were struck with the bust image of Jesus on one side and the words "Christ, King of Kings" on the other, making them a powerful symbol of the Byzantine Empire's Christian faith. The prestige of this coinage lasted well into the decline of the empire, eventually giving way to European rulers issuing their own currency.
The coin, measuring 27mm (1 1/8" diameter), has developed a beautiful patina over centuries, adding to its ancient charm. It is topped with a sparkling diamond bar (29mm) that brings modern elegance to this historical piece. On the back of the coin, you can still make out the faint image of Christ, adding depth and meaning to this stunning necklace.
Accompanied by an information card that provides a brief history of the Byzantine coin, this necklace allows you to wear a true piece of history. The necklace is crafted in Vermeil and Gold Filled materials, combining the warmth of gold with the authenticity of the ancient coin.
