Product Details

Classical Greek, circa 386 - 338 BC. A pair of bespoke modern 18 carat gold earrings with hooks, each set with an ancient silver hemidrachm of Chersonesos, Thrace.

Both coins date to circa 386 - 338 BC and depict a quadripartite incuse square, with two sunken quarters containing a pellet and letter motifs (one with a VE monogram; the other an E and a AΓ monogram), the forepart of a roaring lion on the other side.

Chersonesos was an ancient Greek city-state located in Thrace. These coins come in various forms with different motifs and monograms inside the incuse squares. Lions appear on ancient coins from the very dawn of coinage. As the king of beasts lions were often chosen by Greek city-states to represent their city.
These are rare and unique ancient miniature artworks, whilst they are designed to be worn we suggest avoiding contact with cosmetics, perfumes, chlorine, and chemicals. Clean with warm water and pat dry with a clean, soft cloth. When not in use, keep your jewelry in its box to protect it from dust and other debris.

Made in: United Kingdom

Length of coins: 1.2 cm; maximum drop of earrings: 3 cm
