Seleukid Empire - Zeus seated - large silver coin struck 80 BC
Beautiful coin showing Ancient Greek inscription around seated Zeus (appears as dots).
Comes with certificate which guarantees authenticity and provides background information (listed below) on the acquired 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 Dime. Excellent coin weighing nearly 16 grams and 27 mm in diameter. The coin was first set in a silver bezel, which was then hammered over the edge of both sides. This was then sanded and polished. This pendant is built to last.

Why buy from us? I see a lot of pre-made bezels, that are made for modern coins passing as "handmade" jewelry. Each of our coins is carefully handset in a custom made bezel which takes time and skill.
