Dubini Athena Ancient Silver Coin Flip Pendant Garnet 18 Yellow Gold Necklace

About the Item

This DUBINI necklace showcases an authentic stater silver coin of Athena, dating back to circa 338 – 250 B.C., set in 18K yellow gold with garnet cabochons. DETAILS OF THE COIN: Obverse: Head of Athena right, wearing Corinthian helmet. Reverse: Pegasos flying left. HISTORY: Athena, the revered goddess of war and wisdom, graces this exquisite Corinthian coin. She is depicted wearing a Corinthian helmet, symbolising her integral role in the founding myth of the city-state. Corinth, a key port city in Magna Graecia, rivaled Athens and Thebes in wealth and influence. Its currency, featuring Athena and Pegasus, was widely recognised and circulated. According to legend, the Corinthian hero Bellerophon received a golden bridle from Athena to tame Pegasus, the immortal winged horse. This myth accentuates Athena's patronage of heroes and leaders. Bellerophon, with Pegasus by his side, went on to slay the Chimera and achieve great feats, cementing Pegasus's frequent appearance on Corinthian coins and those of its colonies. Pegasus, a symbol of divine inspiration and ascension, is depicted in dynamic motion on the reverse with finely detailed wings, capturing the creature's grace and power. According to myth, Bellerophon later attempted to fly to heaven, but Zeus caused Pegasus to buck, throwing him back to earth in disgrace. Pegasus's name, meaning either "of the spring" or "sprung forth," alludes to its connections with various springs and its birth from the Gorgon Medusa's neck. Athens and Corinth were renowned for their early and significant coinages, with two of the most famous types in the ancient Greek world: the Owl of Athens and the Pegasus, or "colt," of Corinth. This Corinthian coin not only celebrates Athena's divine influence but also embodies the rich mythological and cultural heritage of ancient Greece. * This piece is accompanied by 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.

Dubini Dioscuri Twins Ancient Silver Coin Pendant 18 Karat Yellow Gold Necklace
By DUBINI
Located in London, GB
This DUBINI coin necklace from the 'Empires' collection features an authentic silver coin from Istros, Moesia dating circa 4th century B.C. set in 18kt yellow gold with peridot and aquamarine cabochons. Coin Ø 19mm 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...
