About the Item
Gorgeous large Roman sestertius from the Third Century AD. This coin has lovely toning and dark patina. I purchased it from one of Britain's premier ancient coin dealers.
To appreciate the pendant's size, the relief of the coin and the shape of the bail, see the picture showing the coin next to a US quarter (will post soon). The coin was first set in a gold bezel, which was then hammered over the edge of both sides. This was then sanded and polished. This pendant is built to last.
Comes with certificate which guarantees authenticity and provides background information (listed below) on the acquired coin
-- Coin information:
Gordian III - Bronze - Sestertius
Obverse: IMP GORDIANVS PIVS FEL AVG Laureate draped and cuirassed bust of Gordian right.
Reverse: CONCORDIA MILIT S C Concordia seated left holding patera and double cornucopia.
Rome Mint 238 - 244AD
Gordian III, 29 July 238 - 25 February 244 A.D. Gordian III was the grandson of Gordian I and nephew of Gordian II. He was proclaimed Caesar shortly before the murder of Balbinus and Pupienus, and he succeeded them. Little is known about his reign. In 242 A.D. he embarked on a campaign against the Persian Kingdom which was so successful the Persians had to evacuate Mesopotamia. However, Gordian III died shortly after, through illness or the machinations of his Praetorian prefect and successor, Philip I.

Ancients people would sometimes chisel (test cut) a coin to determine if the coin was a good, official, solid silver or gold coin, or if it was a fourree, a plated counterfeit.
