Description
Suspended elegantly from an 18K gold necklace, this striking silver shekel coin features the visage of a distinguished figure crowned with an olive leaf, symbolizing peace and prosperity from ancient Tyre, a historic city in southern Lebanon. On the reverse side, an intricately detailed eagle, accompanied by ancient inscriptions, displays its sharp talons and delicate plumage, showcasing skilled craftsmanship and artistic finesse. The coin’s surface is polished to a brilliant finish, accentuating the bold, embossed designs that grace both sides.
Dating from 126 B.C.E. to 66 C.E., this pendant hails from a period when Tyre had reasserted its independence, even as neighboring provinces fell under Roman dominion. Its preservation is exquisite, retaining a beauty that transcends time, making it a wearable artifact that maintains its elegance and historical significance to this day.
