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":43988109525239,"sku":null,"price":660.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0650\/4193\/files\/9901-Lycia-PERIKLES-Ancient-Silver-Greek-Coin-LION-TRISKELES-Pendant-01.jpg?v=1694813975"},{"product_id":"ancient-greek-athena-silver-stater-circa-350-240-bc-14k-gold-pendant-artifact-8763","title":"Ancient Greek Athena Silver Stater circa 350 – 240 BC 14K Gold Pendant | Artifact #8763","description":"\u003ch1\u003eThe legendary Goddess Athena: immortalized on the silver Stater of Corinth, Ancient Greece - 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\u003ch3\u003eOf all the legendary creatures of Ancient Greek myth, Pegasus stands supreme.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrace and power united in a single divine white being born of the god Poseidon.
