About the Item

The thick gold bail, bezel setting and gold accent make it a truly unique pendant with amazing imagery. The last few images depict the coin before I set it. Comes with certificate which guarantees authenticity and provides background information (listed below) on the acquired coin This stunning coin is 23 mm in size and weighs nearly 11.5 grams. -- Coin information: BOEOTIA, Thebes - silver stater Obverse: Boeotian shield Reverse: Amphora; wreath above, [ΨA]-RO across field; all within incuse circle Struck circa 379-368 BC A Boeotian shield is a large hand-held shield once carried by warriors in Ancient Greece. It is similar to the more commonly encountered aspis in that it has an overall circular shape, but differed in having scooped indentations at both sides. The term "Boeotian" as applied to this armament is a modern construct resulting from its frequent appearance on ancient Boeotian coins. No shield of this type has physically survived into the modern era, but this type, along with the Boeotian helmet, are considered characteristic of the warriors of Boeotia

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. Currently have three Athenian owls of varying quality, set in 18k gold. This is an excellent one. Note how thick these coins are.

Comes with certificate which guarantees authenticity and provides background information (listed below) on the acquired coin. Indian, Post-Kushan (Jammu and Kashmir) - Kidarite Successors, Vinayaditya Obverse: abstract Kushan style king standing left; ka in Brahmi to left; to right, jaya and monogram of Kidara in Brahmi Reverse: Abstract Ardoxsho seated facing, holding filleted investiture garland and cornucopia; ditya in Brahmi to left, śri vinaya in Brahmi down right Struck 5th-7th century The Kidarites, or Kidara Huns, were a dynasty that ruled Bactria and adjoining parts of Central Asia and South Asia in the 4th and 5th centuries. The Kidarites belonged to a complex of peoples known collectively in India as the Huna, and in Europe as the Chionites (from the Iranian names Xwn/Xyon), and may even be considered as identical to the Chionites. The 5th century Byzantine historian Priscus called them Kidarite Huns, or "Huns who are Kidarites". The Huna/Xionite tribes are often linked, albeit controversially, to the Huns who invaded Eastern Europe during a similar period. They are entirely different from the Hephthalites, who replaced them about a century later. Ardoksho (Bactrian script Αρδοχϸο), also Romanised as Ardochsho, Ardokhsho and Ardoxsho, the Iranic goddess of wealth was a female deity of the Kushan Empire...
