This genuine ancient coin of Alexander the Great has been mounted in a modern 18 karat gold necklace.

This silver tetradrachm in its golden setting symbolizes the grandeur and glory of Alexander’s reign. On one side is the bust of Herakles, favorite hero god of the Greeks. The youthful hero wears the skin of the Nemean lion, killed as the first of his famous twelve labors. His features subtly reflect those of Alexander himself, who se eastward journeys imitated those of Herakles. On the reverse, Zeus, king of the gods, is seated in glory as a symbol of divine power. The elegant setting rivets the attention. While appealing to contemporary tastes, it also evokes a timeless classical beauty. Adornment for those who enjoy living life to its limits.
