Medusa, Gorgon - Mysia 4th Century BC - Amazing coin
This is truly a gem - with excellent details all around. Here is a video of the coin before I set it and here how I set this coin!
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.
