Did you know that the first coins in the world were issued by ancient Greeks in the 6th century BC? The symbolism from that time is preserved in many artistic ways and coin jewelry is one of them.

Whether you are a history-lover or coin collector, you will find ancient coin jewelry to be a unique blend of beauty, history, and symbolism.  

Coins from the ancient Roman and Greek era represent visual images of major events and people such as Alexander the Great, monuments in the Roman Empire, the harp of David Maccabees, etc.

Alexander introduced a uniform design and weight for the coins used in that era, which later became known as Alexander’s coinage after his death. The coin had Hercules minted on the front and God Zeus at the back. Such coins are still used as jewelry items today.  Ancient coin jewelry is the perfect amalgamation of style and history that will add a mystic touch to your jewelry box.

Coin Jewelry in Early Times

Coin jewelry is not a new phenomenon. It has been around since the time coins were made. Since coins were made from expensive metals, such as gold or silver, and were also used as money, ancient coin jewelry was a symbol of wealth. Kings would wear coin jewelry to show-off their position and power.

Coins were also made to impress lovers or show dedication. This is why ancient coins had faces of Kings and Emperors – and the practice is followed till date.

Keep in mind that coins were not just a source of money and wealth, but also a visual representation of great craftsmanship. In ancient times, all coins were made by hand. This is why they held greater value. They were also used as souvenirs for travelers to take back home and in order to preserve them, they would make them into jewelry and wear them.
