This piece features a genuine ancient Tetradrachm coin, minted circa 305–282 BC during the reign of Ptolemy I Soter, founder of the Ptolemaic dynasty. Struck in Alexandria, the coin depicts Ptolemy with a diadem and aegis, while the reverse shows an eagle standing on a thunderbolt.
The portrait is attributed to a master engraver known only as “A,” whose rendering of Ptolemy’s sharp features and intense gaze became the official face of rulership for generations. His iconic design was so revered, it was replicated on coins of all succeeding kings.
This relic bridges past and present — honoring one of history’s most enduring legacies. Set in gold, it becomes not just a piece of jewelry, but a symbol of power, heritage, and timeless craftsmanship.
