Please Note: This is an authentic Ancient Roman Treasure Coin, and you will receive the exact pendant in the photographs and description.
Before the Roman Empire, there was the Roman Republic… where ancient Rome was ruled by the powerful Senate and moneyers were responsible for creating the coins used by the citizens of this rising power.
This silver coin, a Denaruis, was minted by moneyer M. Nonius Sufenas in 57 BC in Rome. It pictures the head of Saturn on the front (obverse). Saturn was the god of plenty, wealth, agriculture and renewal. On the back (reverse) is Roma (Roma was the personification – the representation of the city of Rome, where this coin was minted) holding a spear and sword while she is crowned by winged Victory.
Our ancient coin pendants are a favorite of history fans, students, travel buffs and teachers… and anyone with a love of the past. Our Roman jewelry is designed to be worn by men or women will accommodate both large and small chain and leather necklaces.
April's Notes: This Denarius features the rarer Saturn portrait - and had wonderful detail in the face and hair - it is a portrait of strength and power. Best of all, while coin minters in Ancient Rome didn't care if the top of one side was also the top on the other (what we now call "Medallic Orientation") this coins two sides have almost matching orientation - so you can wear it either side out.
Each ancient Roman coin was hand-struck by three people, and at the height of the Roman empire, coins were minted throughout the sprawling territories – even in military camps where coins were minted to pay soldiers. Lost or purposely hoarded, this ancient Roman Coin was discovered by metal detector and professionally conserved for a lifetime of enjoyment.
