Hadrian and Egypte - Ibis - Set in 22k Gold Ancient Silver Pendant Denarius

About the Item

To appreciate the pendant's 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. Comes with certificate which guarantees authenticity and provides background information (listed below) on the acquired coin -- Coin information: Hadrian - silver denarius Obverse: HADRIANVS AVG COS III P P, bare-headed bust right, drapery on far shoulder Reverse: AEGYPTOS, Egypt reclining left, left elbow on snake wrapped basket and sistrum in right hand, ibis at feet Struck 134-8 AD at Rome The denarius was the standard Roman silver coin from its introduction in the Second Punic War about  211 BC to the reign of Gordian III ( 238–244 CE), when it was gradually replaced by the antoninianus. It continued to be minted in very small quantities, likely for ceremonial purposes, until and through the Tetrarchy (293–313). The word denarius is derived from the Latin dēnī "containing ten", as its value was originally of 10 assēs. The word for "money" descends from it in Italian (denaro), Slovene (denar), Portuguese (dinheiro), and Spanish (dinero). Its name also survives in the dinar currency.
