Origin: Mediterranean Circa: 359 BC to 336 BC Collection: Coin Jewelry Style: Greek Medium: Silver and Gold Additional Information: The coin was found in northern Asia Minor. King Philip II was a man of great intelligence, skill, charm and energy. He was a hard fighter as well as a man of considerable cultural tastes. Ruthless and generous by turns, he passed many of his gifts for kingship on to his son, Alexander the great who brought Macedon to its greatest glory. After a youth partly spent as a political hostage in Thebes, Philip became king of Macedon in 359 B.C. At the age of twenty-three. Through conquest, treaty, bribery and marriage he stabilized his rule in Macedon and its surrounding territories. His tempestuous marriage to the Princess Olympias produced an heir, Alexander, in 356 B.C. Relations between husband and wife were often strained and both Olympias and Alexander have sometimes been implicated in the assassination of Philip in 336 B.C., following his marriage to Cleopatra- Eurydice. At the time of his death, Philip was planning a Panhellenic war against Persia, which w as successfully carried through by his son.This stunning silver tetradrachm minted during the reign of Philip II features on one side the dramatic portrait of the bearded king Philip II.

Origin: Egypt (Alexandria) Circa: 247 BC to 222 BC Medium: Bronze/Gold Additional Information: This extraordinary coin is set in a stunning 18K gold ring. The son of Ptolemy II and his queen Arsinoe I, Ptolemy III acceded to the throne in 246 B.C. and married Berenice II, the daughter of king Magas of Cyrene. Ptolemy invaded Syria to support the claim of the son of his sister, Berenice Syra, to the Seleucid throne. This invasion soon turned into a war of vengeance after rivals murdered them. Ptolemy is said to have marched through the Seleucid Empire as far as Bactria, although extensive military conquests there were doubtful. He returned to Egypt to handle an uprising in the delta, and defeated an attack by Seleucus II in Coele-Syria. Eventually, peace was established between the two rulers with Ptolemy III receiving territory in Asia Minor and Thrace. Egypt remained at peace for the rest of Ptolemy’s reign but this led to a dangerous and unfortunate weakening of military strength. Upon his death in 221 B.C. his son Ptolemy IV succeeded him. This artistically rendered Ptolemaic coin, with its elegant gold frame, invites us to travel back in time, our imaginations conjuring up ancient life with all its complexity, intrigue and splendor. - (FJ.5641)   « Less

During the 4th century B.C., the Carthaginians issued silver tetradrachms in Sicily for the payment of mercenaries in the wars against the Greeks. Known as siculo-punic coins, these tetradrachms were stunning in both craftsmanship and imagery, as evidenced in this distinctive silver coin. The front of the tetradrachm depicts the head and neck of a magnificent horse. With mouth open wide and stylized mane flying in the wind, we can almost feel his ancient kinetic spirit. An accompanying image of a small palm tree appears to the right of the horse. On the reverse side of the coin the powerful head of the Greek God Heracles appears, one of the most popular deities in classical antiquity. Through the centuries his name has been synonymous with strength and adventure. Heracles was said to be the son of Zeus, king of the Olympian gods, and Alcmene, a mortal queen. His earliest feat of strength, performed while still in the cradle, was to strangle two serpents sent to kill him by Hera, jealous wife of Zeus. The tales about Heracles' adventures are the most numerous in ancient classical mythology. His most famous exploits are the "twelve labors,” difficult tasks performed with a mixture of skill, and cunning and sheer strength. Here, Heracles is depicted in a lion skinhead dress, representative of the first of his labors. How apropos that the Ancient Carthaginians should portray this fierce warrior on coins minted during their war with the Greeks. Today, the imagery on this magnificent coin, framed in a regal gold ring setting, is every bit as powerful as it was centuries ago. The spirited energy that emanates from the wild horse and the undefeated Heracles continue to express it most effectively. - (FJ.5719)   « Less

Thessaly is a vast plain in Central Greece, enclosed by mountains and drained by the river Peneios. In 197 B.C. the Romans, under the leadership of general Flamininus, won a great victory over Phillip V of Macedon, the ruler of Thessaly. The nominal freedom of the Greeks was proclaimed at Corinth at this time and a number of new autonomous Thessalian coinages were initiated. This stunning silver coin was minted during this period. One side of the coin features the laurelled head of Apollo, the Greek God of the sun. This dynamic Greek deity, roused daily by the crowing of the cock, drives the sun across the heavens with his four-horse chariot.
