BYZANTINE ANONYMOUS FOLLES COIN PENDANT

IN 14KY GOLD

969 - 1052 A.D.

It looks as though this photo is enhanced but the intense mint green of the coin's patina is accurate.  With over 1200 ancient coins that have passed through our inventory in the last year I have had only two that have had such an incredible patina as this one.  The other coin was a small 'e' and was sold literally within minutes of first being shown at a show here in Orlando, FL.  This coin is by far one of the most beautiful Christian coins I can currently offer with such characteristic color and detail.  The entire setting is 14KY gold and the coin is bronze.  This coin is called an anonymous bronze Folles because the ruling emperor was not depicted on the obverse but instead, Christ.  The reverse boldly states its message of Christianity in the areas around the cross, "Jesus Christ, King of Kings".  You won't find a nicer example than this.  Patinas of this hue are considered the most rare, beautiful and prized of any ancient coin.  A pure GEM of a relic of the Christian faith.
