First appearing in Ireland in 3200 BC, the delicate spirals and swirls have been, and are still, a part of Celtic art to this day. Adopted as a Christian symbol when the Celts were converted to Christianity, the Triskeles now serves as a symbol of the Godhead – Father, Son and Holy Spirit. It is a beautiful example of an ancient tradition and connection that continues to inspire to this day.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eYour Ancient Lycian Triskeles Coin Pendant comes with:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOur 100% Authentic Lifetime Guarantee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Detailed, Multi-Page Certificate of Authenticity Researched and Written by April Knecht\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA four page Historic Brief on the history of Greek society and their coins researched and written by April Knecht\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTreasure Hunters Gazette Booklet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMini Museum Display for then you are not wearing your treasure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Treasure Jewelry Care Card\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Cannon Beach Treasure Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43988112703735,"sku":null,"price":950.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0650\/4193\/files\/9903-Lycia-PERIKLES-Ancient-Silver-Greek-Coin-LION-TRISKELES-Pendant-01.jpg?v=1694814292"},{"product_id":"ancient-greek-medusa-nike-protection-and-victory-bronze-coin-120-bc-sterling-silver-pendant-artifact-6454","title":"Ancient Greek Medusa \u0026 Nike Protection and Victory Bronze Coin 120 BC Sterling Silver Pendant | Artifact #6454","description":"\u003ch1\u003eThe ancient symbols of Protection \u0026amp; Victory - Medusa and Nike - unite on the Ancient Greek Bronze Tetrachalkon - now in an heirloom pendant\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #990000;\"\u003ePlease Note: This is an authentic Ancient Greek Treasure Coin, and you will receive the exact pendant in the photographs and description.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #990000;\"\u003eSEE COIN DETAILS BELOW FOR PENDANT SIZE\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe most striking thing about the ancient state of Pontus’ bronze Tetrachalkons are their portrayal of the Aegis - a shield with the head of Medusa prominently affixed to the middle.

From the minting of the earliest Miletos coinage we see the lion appear as a proud symbol of the city. The lion was not only the embodiment of the spirit of Miletos, the city itself resembled a lion. Built on that promontory that extended into the bay, the border of the city resembled the silhouette of a crouching lion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe mighty lion – the symbol of stately power and wealth – was a chief symbol employed by these early artisans who appreciated not only the meaning of the symbol, but the lion’s grandeur and beauty.

This temple drew visitors from all over the Greek world, bring trade and notoriety to Miletos and its colonies. Miletos was positioned at the start of the Sacred Way leading to Apollo’s temple. Here on the silver coins of Miletos, Apollo is immortalized – and called upon to protect and grant prosperity to the city.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eLike other powerful and prominent Greek city-states, Miletos minted its own iconic Drachms for hundreds of years.

From the minting of the earliest Miletos coinage we see the lion appear as a proud symbol of the city. The lion was not only the embodiment of the spirit of Miletos, the city itself resembled a lion. Built on that promontory that extended into the bay, the border of the city resembled the silhouette of a crouching lion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe mighty lion – the symbol of stately power and wealth – was a chief symbol employed by these early artisans who appreciated not only the meaning of the symbol, but the lion’s grandeur and beauty. But the lion wasn’t the only symbol chosen for Miletos Drachms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"p2\"\u003eApollo, God of \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eMusic and Dance, Truth and Prophecy, Healing and Light… and the Sun\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eTurn them over and you will see Apollo, the Greek god of music and dance, truth and prophecy, healing and light… and the sun. In fact, the lion you see proudly standing on Miletos Drachms is looking over his shoulder to a star, another representation of Apollo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eJust 10 miles south of the Miletos of old was the famed temple of Apollo at Didyma. This temple drew visitors from all over the Greek world, bring trade and notoriety to Miletos and its colonies. Miletos was positioned at the start of the Sacred Way leading to Apollo’s temple. Here on the silver coins of Miletos, Apollo is immortalized – and called upon to protect and grant prosperity to the city.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eLike other powerful and prominent Greek city-states, Miletos minted its own iconic Drachms for hundreds of years. Each one is a shining ambassador of a once vibrant, influential, and commanding center of trade, culture and science that whispers from the past. These few, precious pieces of silver witnessed history that helped build the Western world you and I live in today. Now, they continue their millennia-long journey with you as a piece of history you can wear every day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eYour Ancient Greek Coin Necklace comes with:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOur 100% Authentic Lifetime Guarantee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Detailed, Multi-Page Certificate of Authenticity Researched and Written by April Knecht\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eA four page Historic Brief on the history of Greek society and their coins researched and written by April Knecht\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTreasure Hunters Gazette Booklet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMini Museum Display for when you are not wearing your treasure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Treasure Jewelry Care Card\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Cannon Beach Treasure Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50801933254903,"sku":null,"price":1260.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0650\/4193\/files\/4440-Ancient-Greek-Apollo-and-Lion-Silver-Drachm-Coin-Miletos-Ionia-360-BC-Sterling-Silver-Pendant-03.jpg?v=1779558409"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0650\/4193\/collections\/Green_Coins.jpg?v=1671020221","url":"https:\/\/cannonbeachtreasure.com\/collections\/greek-coins\/silver-coin.oembed?page=2","provider":"Cannon Beach Treasure Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
