Struck in Mexico City in 1786, found in New York state by Jeremy. (Instagram).

“This coin was among hundreds of other relics that I found such as British and American military buttons from before and after the war of 1812. I think someone needed a button on their coat more than a coin and that's how the hole got there. The site was located along a river and I think it was either a tavern/cabin, camp or possibly a landing site for boats considering rivers were the main highway back then.

No harm was done as it's been set in a handmade gold bezel. I'd like to thank @peregrinependants for making a small dream become a reality. It's been a few years that I've wanted to have this done and I couldn't be happier. Thanks again”

I'd like to shout out @peregrinependants for making this spectacular necklace! I provided the denarius of Julia Domna, and they did the rest. I was delighted with the results - and so (more importantly) was my girlfriend. If you're interested in jewelry crafted from ancient coins, check out the @peregrinependants

  • Shayla P. (Cranbourne, Australia)

    I’ve been looking for a reputable place to purchase an ancient coin pendant from for months and I’m so glad I went with Peregrine! The setting is very professionally made, feels completely stable, and doesn’t take away from the coin itself, which is exactly what I was looking for! I couldn’t recommend it more :)

  • Mark S. (Schaumburg, IL)

    A fantastic pendant! I am very pleased.

  • Kellie B. (Chicago, Illinois)

    I bought this necklace as a gift for my sister as she owns and loves sighthounds. The order was processed and arrived quickly. The craftsmanship was beautiful and the coin in great shape. The necklace was better than pictured. I liked the necklace so much that I am going to order one for myself. Thank you!

  • Ancient Roman Coin Pendant: Trajan and Wolf, about 1900 years old

    I love collecting old coins and making them into pendants; now I don't have to go to my jeweler; Peregrinvs does it all. Plus, I love Emperor Trajan; I'm a student of history and finishing my MA in History, so I just had to add him to my collection. What made me want this piece was Canis lupus, the symbol of Rome. Perfect transaction, great shop, fast shipping, and talented artisan! Thank you!

    — Wolfshagen7

  • Ancient Byzantine Coin Pendant: Christ, about 1000 years old

    What a find! Wonderful piece. I love that the artisan includes the story behind the piece for each of the coins. This is a real eye-catcher. The gift box with the print inside is a nice touch, plus the gift bag. So very happy with this purchase. Super transaction!

  • Ancient Roman Coin Pendant: Dragging Captive, about 1700 years old
