This object qualifies for free USA shipping and a flat rate fee of $75 if shipping internationally.
A rare Roman silver coin, the obverse depicting the bust of Emperor Constantinus II facing right, wearing a pearl diadem and a toga with shoulder clasp, with an inscription around. The reverse with a soldier standing facing left, holding a spear and gesturing with inscriptions around. The coin has been set in a contemporary ancient high karat gold pendant with a faux braided border, and a large suspension loop at the top.
Medium: Silver, high karat gold
Dimensions: Pendant diameter: 1 1/4 inches (3.17 cm). Strung on a modern 20-inch handmade gold chain (15.3g) of 24K gold.
Condition: The coin is whole, yet over time, the silver has fractured into several pieces. Given the rarity of this coin, it has been professionally treated to maintain its integrity. The surrounding gold bezel, contemporary to the coin, shows signs of wear and use, adding character without detracting from its appeal. Overall, the pendant presents beautifully, and the modern chain complements the piece exceptionally well.
Provenance: Ex. Sumer Gallery, (Henry Anavian) NYC, acquired 1970s - 1980s, and then by descent.
