Dubini Alexander the Great Ancient Silver Coin Medallion Moonstone Gold Necklace

About the Item

This DUBINI coin necklace from the 'Empires' collection features an authentic Macedon coin from 336-323 B.C set in 18K yellow gold with bullet moonstone cabochons. Depicted on the coin: Alexander with a bust of Heracles on the obverse and a seated Zeus holding sceptre and eagle on the reverse. Coin diameter: 3cm The Medallion is provided with a long (75cm) Rolo chain, but it can be sold separately or customised with other chains. HISTORY The tetradrachm of Alexander III is prized for its artistry and historical value. The obverse depicts Herakles, wearing the Nemean lion's skin—a symbol of strength and bravery, referencing his first labor in Greek mythology. On the reverse, the coin showcases the supreme god Zeus, the father of Herakles. Zeus is majestically seated on his throne, holding a scepter in one hand and an eagle in the other, embodying his role as the king of the gods. While some suggest that the image of Herakles might actually represent Alexander, reflecting his view of himself as a godlike figure, this interpretation highlights the strong connection Alexander felt with divine status. Alexander the Great, born in 356 B.C., was one of history's most accomplished military leaders. By the age of 30, he had created one of the largest empires of the ancient world, stretching from Greece to Egypt and into northwest India. His key accomplishments include the decisive victory at the Battle of Issus in 333 B.C., where he defeated the Persian king Darius III, and the founding of over 20 cities, the most famous being Alexandria in Egypt, which became a major center of Hellenistic culture. The tetradrachm, nominally equivalent to four drachmae, was a significant coin in ancient Greek commerce. Issued during Alexander’s reign and beyond, these coins facilitated trade across his vast empire and helped spread Greek culture. Today, the Alexander the Great tetradrachm is celebrated not only for its historical context but also for its exquisite craftsmanship, making it a valuable piece for collectors and a testament to the legacy of one of history's most legendary figures. * Due to the unique process of hand carving coins in ancient times, there may be a few stylistic differences from the image shown. Each 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.
