About the Item

This DUBINI coin ring from the 'Empires' collection features authentic Thracian silver coin minted circa 4th century B.C. set in 18K yellow gold. The ring may be ordered in any size with a lead time of 2-3 weeks. HISTORY The lion, an emblem of power and a symbol of Chersonesos' natural locality, adds to the coin's elegant simplicity. The design features a backward-looking lion with its tongue out and a curving body, gracefully following the coin's curvature. Little is known about Chersonesos apart from its coinage. Like many other Greek city-states, the city of Chersonesos was built on a site that offered significant military or economic advantages. Located on a peninsula extending from Europe into the Aegean Sea on the west and the Dardanelles on the east, its name derives from the ancient Greek word for peninsula, ‘χερσόνησος’. From 560 to 338 B.C., Chersonesos was under Athenian control, during which the hemidrachma coin played a crucial role in facilitating trade with cities along the Black Sea coast. * Due to the unique process of hand carving coins in ancient times, there may be a few stylistic differences from the image shown. ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………. 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.
