LARGE RARE ANCIENT CELTIC COIN PENDANT FEATURING A PRANCING HORSE AND RIDER

IN 14KY GOLD

2ND CENTURY B.C.

With the most aesthetic artistry typical and unique to the ancient Celts, this supreme grade genuine ancient silver tetradrachm features a prancing horse and rider.  This rare and superb grade coin is set in a 14K yellow gold ribbed polished setting perfectly complimenting the beaded decoration in the coin itself.  The coin was minted by the Celtic tribes occupying the Danube River region and is their imitation of a coin the Greeks minted during the rule of Philip II.  The Celtic-rendered scene is perfectly centered and offers rare, very full relief and complete detail.  The reverse side, not shown, depicts a head of Zeus with long hair and full beard.  With most ancient Celtic coinage being too poorly struck or eroded to appreciate, this is a unique offering, indeed.  For equestrian jewelry, it cannot be improved upon as this is the most beautiful and largest coin with such a scene I have ever mounted.  Add to that its ancient Celtic heritage and intrinsic value as a genuine artifact, and it is easy to see why such a piece as this is a far improvement over mass-produced, modern-made jewelry.  If you are a horse-fancier and are looking for an unforgettable, showstopper of a piece of jewelry certainly to dominate any party conversation, THIS IS IT!  HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR ANYONE OF CELTIC ORIGIN!!! 

Unlike the classic Greek art styles, the Celts boldly rendered their coinage in their own unusual stylized versions.  Celtic art is so unique and unlike any other style that ever existed from any other culture.  The mysterious use of abstract curves and lines along with surreal representations of goddesses, monsters, animals, plants and humans cannot be mistaken.  The designs are timeless and surpass the beauty, depth and oddity of any contemporary artist. 

An exquisite, fine grade wearable artifact featuring the finest Celtic artistic style that is unmistakable for this highly unique ancient culture!

Overall diameter is impressively large at 31 mm.
