Dubini Ancient Governors of Tabaristan Silver Coin 18 Karat Yellow Gold Necklace
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.

Chain Length: 47cm (can be customised upon request)
Depicted on the coin:
Obverse - Two young male heads facing, side by side, one upright, the other inverted.
Reverse - Sea-eagle left attacking dolphin; monogram below.
HISTORY
This unique design features two youthful male heads positioned side by side, one upright and the other inverted. This captivating motif has been variously interpreted as representing the Dioscuri, the rising and setting sun, or the two branches of the river Danube.
The Dioscuri, Castor and Pollux, epitomised courage and bravery and were especially revered by soldiers and cavalry. Renowned as protectors of sailors, they were believed to have the power to calm seas and still winds. In Rome, their legendary intervention at the Battle of Lake Regillus in 496 B.C. secured a pivotal victory for the Romans against the Latins. Their legacy was celebrated with annual games featuring horse racing on January 27th, highlighting their strong association with horsemanship.
The constellation Gemini is intrinsically linked to the Dioscuri. Sharing the same mother, Leda, Castor was the mortal son of Tyndareus, the king of Sparta, while Pollux was the divine offspring of Zeus. Together, they joined Jason on the Argo and famously saved the ship from a deadly storm. When Castor perished in battle, Pollux implored Zeus to reunite them. Zeus granted this wish, immortalising them in the stars and allowing them to alternate between Earth and the heavens. Sailors who spotted the twin stars...
