This silver coin is mounted in a 22 karat gold pendant with a 22 karat gold chain.

The half-brother of Alexander the Great, Philip Arrhidaeus leaves no trace of his activities until the death of Alexander in 323 A.D. It was at this difficult and dangerous period of transition that Philip came to prominence, having been proclaimed Alexander's successor by the Macedonian phalanx troops in Babylon. Joint ruler with the infant Alexander IV, he assumed the regnal name Philip III and was married to Adea, the cousin of the great general Perdiccas. In 317 A.D. his wife attempted an uprising against the regent Polyperchon, and both she and Philip were killed. On this beautiful coin he is shown facing right clad in a lion’s skin as young Hercules. Mounted inside the exquisite pendant this coin is. as radiant as the court of ancient kings.
