About the Item

This DUBINI coin necklace from the 'Empires' collection features authentic Persian silver coins from the Sassanid Kingdom minted circa A.D. 700-800 set in 18K yellow gold choker. DEPICTED ON COIN Obverse: Decorated bust of King Khusro II wearing earrings and winged crown surmounted by crescent and star inscription in Pahlavi alphabet. Reverse: Fire altar decorated with ribbons; two attendants facing. HISTORY A detailed crowned bust of Khusrau II, showcasing the elaborate royal headgear adorned with symbols of divinity and authority. This image is emblematic of the king's status as a divine ruler, chosen by Ahura Mazda, the supreme god of Zoroastrianism. On the reverse, the coin depicts a fire altar flanked by two attendants. The fire altar is a potent symbol, representing the eternal flame that was kept burning in the temples and signifying the presence of Ahura Mazda. The attendants, often depicted with raised hands, serve as guardians of this sacred fire, reinforcing the idea that the Sasanian kings were protectors of the Zoroastrian faith. The Sasanian Empire, founded by Ardeshir I in 224 A.D., marked a new era of Persian imperial power that lasted over four centuries, succeeding the Parthian Empire and re-establishing the Iranians as a superpower. For the next four hundred years, it was recognised as one of the leading world powers in late antiquity, rivalled only by the Roman-Byzantine Empire. Among its most notable rulers was Khusrau II, also known as Khusrau Parviz, who reigned from 590 to 628 A.D. His reign was characterised by both military successes and internal strife, yet it also gave rise to some of the most iconic artefacts of Sasanian culture, including the AR Drachm. The legacy of the Sasanian Empire remains evident in regions like Tabaristan, a province in northern Iran known for its diverse nature, rich resources, and outstanding beauty, where several fortresses from the Parthian and Sasanian periods still stand. * 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.
