Diana Lucifera - denarius in gold with amethyst
Exceptional coin of Julia Domna, with an amethyst set below.
To appreciate its size, the relief of the coin and the shape of the bail, see the picture showing the coin next to a US quarter. The coin was first set in a gold bezel, which was then hammered over the edge of both sides. This was then sanded and polished. This pendant is built to last.
Coin information:
Julia Domna, silver denarius. Mint in Rome between 193 and 211 AD
Obverse: IVLIA PIA FELIX AVG. Draped bust right.
Reverse: DIANA LVCIFERA. Diana Lucifera standing left, holding long torch in both hands.
Very nice coin, in EF+/EF- condition, conserving complete details on both sides, including a superb bust of Julia Domna in obverse. High quality silver with part ot the original luster well preserved. In fact, the coin looks much better in the hand than in the picture.
