This genuine ancient coin has been mounted in a modern 18 karat gold pendant and strung on a 14 karat gold chain.

Lysimachus, who had been a close friend of Alexander the great, was among the ambitious successors who divided up his vast empire after his death. This magnificent silver coin emphasizes the line of succession. It bears the image of Alexander adorned with the ram horns of the Egyptian God Zeus-Ammon, a symbol of divinity. On the reverse is Athena, goddess of wisdom and war, being crowned by victory? Set in a gold necklace of classic simplicity, this superb tetradrachm recalls the ancient world at its splendid peak.
