Perfect for everyday wear, this short style necklace centre's on an artisan replica of ancient Byzantine follis coin. Cast in silver pewter, this coin pendant is suspended on a n aged, vintage brass chain link and hung on a rugged, U shaped pewter ring.
Adding a layer of history, this one of kind necklace closes with a weathered brass toggle bar, that was salvaged from a genuine antique pocket watch chain. Suspended from an 18 inch, beautifully textured silver tone chain, this necklace is perfect for layering or wearing solo.
The original dates back to the early Byzantine Empire, when the large “M” marked its value of 40 nummi. Coins like these circulated widely under emperors, reflecting both the strength of the empire during the 6th century.
