Dubini Griffin Ancient Silver Coin 18K Gold Hoop Earrings

About the Item

These Dubini coin earrings from the 'Empires' collection feature authentic Ionian coins minted circa 320-294 B.C. set in 18K yellow gold. HISTORY The griffin, a mythical creature with the body of a lion and the head and wings of an eagle, is depicted seated to the right with its right forepaw raised. This powerful symbol often represented divine protection and strength, reflecting the city's aspirations and beliefs. The reverse of the coin bears the name "ΜΕΝΤΩΡ" (Mentor) and the inscription "ΤΗΙ" within the design of a chelys, an ancient Greek musical instrument akin to a lyre. The chelys was associated with the god Apollo, highlighting the cultural and religious significance of the arts in Teos. The presence of the magistrate's name suggests that Mentor was responsible for the production of this coinage, ensuring its quality and authenticity. The ancient city of Teos, located in the region of Ionia on the western coast of Asia Minor (modern-day Turkey), was a prominent member of the Ionian League and known for its rich cultural heritage. The diobol of Teos, with its intricate design and historical context, is a remarkable example of ancient Greek numismatics. Its small size and the precision of its imagery reflect the high level of craftsmanship of the period. The use of symbols like the griffin and the chelys not only served a decorative purpose but also conveyed the values and identity of the city-state of Teos, making this coin a valuable piece of ancient history. * This piece is provided with a Certificate of Authenticity. ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………. The Empires Collection playfully delights in ancient stories and myths whilst tapping into the rich history of Italian craftsmanship. The coins have been carefully selected for their value, beauty and as witnesses of a bygone era. Within a clean and classic context, Empires merges past and present, creating timeless pieces with an irresistible edge.
