This genuine Ancient Jewish coin has been set in a modern 18karat gold ring.
The glory of the Maccabees is evoked by this elegant coin, issued by one of the great rulers of the dynasty. On one side is the image of an anchor, symbolizing the wealth and power of trade; on the other is an eight-rayed star, evoking the divine protection of the heavens for the king. The persons who first held this coin centuries ago were witness to history in the making. To hold it today is to set the imagination traveling on exotic journeys to the past.
