Alexander the Great Coin Pendant – Herakles & Zeus (336–323 BC)
This pendant centers on a genuine bronze Æ Unit coin minted during the reign of Alexander III of Macedon—better known as Alexander the Great.
The obverse features Herakles, hero of Greek myth and spiritual forebear to Alexander, shown wearing the lion-skin headdress of the Nemean lion. The reverse shows a bow, club, and quiver, symbols of martial readiness, with grape bunches and a delta mark—likely referencing the local region or deity.
Cast in bronze and hand-struck sometime between 336–323 BC, this coin bears the character of time: softened edges, weathered patina, and ancient symbols still legible after millennia.
Now set in a custom sterling silver bezel, the piece offers a more understated, rugged aesthetic—well-suited to daily wear or gifting.
Each Peregrine Pendant is handcrafted around an authentic ancient coin—2,000 years old or more—and set with care in precious metal. Whether Greek, Roman, or otherwise, these coins once passed through real hands in history and now find new life as heirloom jewelry. Every piece is made to order or individually selected, preserving its unique marks and story. Our clients often describe the experience as holding a piece of history in their hand—and wearing it close to the heart.
