About the Item

This ring is a 14k gold version of the image of the lion found on the Greek Cyzikos coin that dates to 4th century BC. The image is of the head of a lion above a tuna fish, as though guarding it. Above the lion is Greek lettering K Y and H, with T and I along the right hand side of the image. The signet appears to be made from an impression of the coin; it has both a matte background with a shiny surface to the images, which gives it a coin-like visual texture. The powerful imagery of the lion symbolizes bravery, fierceness, and protection.  The face of the signet measures 0.7” across. The ring face is approximately 7/8” x 7/8”. The ring weighs 19.3 grams. A ring size 9.75, this makes for a great unisex ring and can be resized. Marked 14k gold.

Vintage 14K Gold American Indian Portrait Buffalo Nickel Ring
Located in Venice, CA
The “Indian Head Nickel,” more commonly known as the “Buffalo Nickel,” was designed in 1912 by artist James Earl Fraser, as part of a campaign to make American coinage more beautiful. The nickel featured the portrait of an American Indian on the front and a bison on the back. Though American Indians had technically been portrayed on U.S. coins before, their depictions were inaccurate, appearing to look more like Greek or Roman men wearing headdresses. Fraser wanted to depict Native Americans with more accuracy, and asked three Indian chiefs to sit as models for his portrait. The picture on the coin is a stylized composite of the three chiefs: Two Moons, Chief of the Cheyenne; Iron Tail...
