Circa: 336 BC to 323 BC Collection: Greek Coins Medium: Silver/Gold Additional Information: SOLD This silver drachma is set in an 18 karat gold ring. Alexander III was born in 356 B.C. to king Philip II of Macedon and Olympias. Raised as a crown prince and tutored by the Greek philosopher Aristotle, Alexander was made king upon his father's assassination against a background of dynastic intrigue. His extraordinary military ability, shrewd judgment and forceful character helped him maintain control, and in early 334 he led a grand army of some 50,000 across the Hellespont in a war of revenge against Persia. Alexander's conquests, from Egypt to India, consolidated Greek power in much of the known world, and the consequent spread of Hellenistic culture is still evident in some areas to this day. On this drachma he is depicted as Hercules wearing the skin of the Nemean lion-- a most suitable image for a young man whose accomplishments rivaled even those of the mythical hero. - (FJ.6012)   « Less

Origin: Mediterranean Circa: 400 BC to 300 BC Weight: 30.8Grams Collection: Coin Jewelry Style: Greek Medium: silver+Gold This genuine ancient coin has been mounted in a modern 18 karat gold ring. Every ancient coin reflects two kinds of history. The more public record of events--of politics, economics, beliefs--appear in the iconography, the images that adorn its surface. On this lovely silver coin, we see the legendary nymph Larissa, patroness of the Thessalian city, and a horse, a famous product of the region. The more intimate history--who held it and what it purchased--is more subtle in its expression. Yet, to hold this lovely token of the classical past is to communicate directly with that vanished world, and with the men and women who made it great. - (FJ.7153)   « Less

Origin: Egypt Circa: 85 BC to 51 BC Collection: Greek Coin Rings Style: 24 Karat Gold Ring Medium: Gold+Silver Following the death of Alexander the Great, his empire was divided between his three generals, each of whom set up their own kingdoms. One of them, Ptolemy, took Egypt as his share and made Alexandria his capital. Ruling as Ptolemy I Soter, he established the last dynasty to rule Egypt with the title of Pharaoh. For the next two and a half centuries, the Ptolemaic Dynasty of Greeks controlled Egypt, mingling Hellenic traditions with the mighty legacy of the Pharaohs. Ptolemy XII Neos Dionysos was the illegitimate son of Lathyros (Ptolemy IX Soter II) and fled to the court of Mithradates VI of Pontus following the death of his father. Having deposed Ptolemy XI Alexander II, the people of Egypt remembered the illegitimate son of their previous ruler and he ascended the throne as Ptolemy XII, although he referred to himself as “Theos Philopator Philadelphos Neos Dionysos.” He was married to his sister, Cleopatra V Tryphaena but is perhaps best known as the father of the celebrated, ambitious Cleopatra VII, destined to be the last of the Ptolemies. The glories of antiquity shine again with renewed brilliance and luster. The legend surrounding Ptolemy XII, and his notorious daughter Cleopatra, becomes reality when this ring is worn. The past literally comes alive. This ancient coin is a shining vestige of the ancient glory of Egypt under Greek rule passed from the hands of civilization to civilization, from generation to generation. However, unlike much of antiquity, it is not a relic of the past displayed behind glass in a museum; but mounted in this ring, the coin is a stunning centerpiece appreciated for its age as much as its beauty and superior craftsmanship. - (FJ.7132)   « Less
