This genuine ancient coin has been mounted in a modern 18 karat gold ring.
Decorated with the image of two cornucopias, this ancient coin evokes the timeless wish for peace and prosperity. Centuries ago, in Judaea, it passed hand to hand between people not so very different from ourselves. Surely they had dreams, passions, ambitions and hopes which have not died out with the ages. To wear this token of that vanished world is to link ourselves directly with the unbroken chain of human history.
