Aegina, Silver Turtle Stater - 500 BC Set in 18k Gold
About the Item
I've wanted to buy this ancient coins for about a decade and I finally did. It's a stunning, thick 12.15 grams silver coin from 500 BC showing a turtle and incuse pattern on the back.
To appreciate its size, the relief of the coin and the shape of the bail, see the picture showing the coin next to a US quarter (coming soon). The coin was first set in a gold bezel, which was then hammered over the edge of both sides. This was then sanded and polished. This pendant is built to last.
-- Coin information:
Islands off Attica, Aegina - silver stater
Obverse: turtle, head in profile, with thick collar [and row of dots down its back]
Reverse: Incuse square of ‘Union Jack’ pattern with three sections filled. Meadows, Aegina
Struck about 525-480 BC
Greek Turtles minted on the island of Aegina were most likely the first coins struck in Europe. They were popular in their own time and accepted for payment far from the island. Because they were the first European coin type and because they are attractive and interesting, the Greek Turtle is considered a must have by many ancient coin collectors.
