$9000
Coins are the guardians of history, surviving wars and centuries to tell their stories. This is not just a ring; it is an artifact from the Classical Greek era (400 BC – 350 BC).
This authentic Hemidrachm Silver Coin hails from Thrace (modern-day Turkey). It features a powerful Lion Looking Back—a symbol of wisdom, royalty, and protection. We have honored this relic by setting it in substantial 18k Solid Gold, accented with Natural Rubies on the shoulders. It blends the gravitas of antiquity with modern luxury.
“A coin that traveled through the hands of ancient Greeks, now resting on your finger.”
Since the Roman era, people have adorned themselves with coins to display status and appreciation for history. This ring features a genuine silver Hemidrachm from Thrace, minted during the time of Plato and Aristotle. The coin depicts the forepart of a Lion looking back—a classic talisman believed to ward off danger and bring courage. It connects you directly to the cradle of Western civilization.
💎The Lion Totem: In ancient cultures, the Lion was the ultimate symbol of the sun, royalty, and protection. Wearing this “Turning Lion” is a statement of dignity, strength, and inner peace.
✨18k Gold & Rubies: To elevate this artifact into High Jewelry, we encased it in a bespoke 18k Gold bezel. The addition of red rubies on the band adds a touch of royal color, contrasting beautifully with the antique patina of the silver coin.
🎨Unique & Irreplaceable: Unlike modern cast jewelry, every ancient coin is unique. The wear patterns, the strike, and the patina are fingerprints of time. You are not just buying a ring; you are becoming the custodian of a 2,400-year-old legacy.
Is the coin real?
Yes. We guarantee that the centerpiece is an authentic Ancient Greek Silver Hemidrachm minted in Thrace between 400 BC and 350 BC. It is not a modern reproduction.
Can I wear ancient coin jewelry daily?
Ancient silver is durable, and our 18k gold setting is designed to protect the coin’s edges. However, as it is a historical artifact, we recommend treating it with the respect due to a 2,000-year-old object. Avoid harsh chemicals and swimming.
