Drachm Pendant
Description: Alexander III, the Great, succeeded his father, Philip II, on the Macedonian throne. In a reign of only thirteen years, he was able to accomplish military feats that stand unequaled to this day. By 330 B.C. he was the acknowledged leader of an empire that covered a million square miles. Alexander was more than a military genius; he was a pupil of Aristotle, familiar not only with strategy and tactics, but mathematics, philosophy, art, literature and theater. At his untimely death at the age of thirty-two, he was King of the Greeks, Pharaoh of Egypt, ruler of Persia and King of Asia. This coin features Hercules, the demigod of Zeus, wearing a lion skin headdress. The reverse has Zeus sitting on a throne. This coinage was a self-promotional campaign for Alexander. Circa 326 B.C. Framing: 14kt white

Athena watched over Athens with the wise owl attending and guarding her. The design was to last for three hundred years. Circa 430 B.C. Framing: 18kt & Silver w/ Argentium
