Lot Passed

Measures: 1.5" Tall x 1.2" Wide. Metal: Sterling Silver Frame. This ancient coin pendant features a bronze "follis", the common coin used by the general population in the Byzantine Empire for their daily purchases. Minted from 400-1000 A.D., this coin features the image of Christ`s face surrounded by a halo on the front with a beautiful natural patina that highlights the design. The detail of Christ's hair and beard are particularly good on this coin. Coin is set in handcrafted sterling silver frame.
