Apollo and Kithara (ancient guitar) - hand set in 18k gold
Excellent coin with beautiful imagery on both sides showing Apollo and the predecessor to the guitar, a kithara.
To appreciate the pendant's 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 was purchased from Britain's premier ancient coin dealer.
