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

Owl & Athena 450 BC Athens Hand Set in Sterling Silver
Located in Chicago, IL
Read my blog post about Athens' owl coin: https://www. peregrinependants. com/blog/athens-owl-coin 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. 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. The pendant weighs about 20 grams (0.7 oz) Coin was purchased from Britain's premier ancient coin dealer.
