Istros Drachm Twins
This Exact Ancient Coin • Your Choice of Handcrafted Setting
Few ancient Greek coins are as instantly recognizable as the silver drachms of Istros. Struck over 2,300 years ago on the western shores of the Black Sea, they feature one of antiquity's most intriguing designs: two youthful male heads, one upright and one inverted, paired with a sea eagle carrying a dolphin.
I selected this particular coin for its pleasing overall appearance, balanced strike, and the beautifully preserved sea eagle on the reverse. The unusual imagery makes it one of the most distinctive and conversation-worthy coins of the ancient world.
The coin shown is the exact coin you will receive. After purchase, I will handcraft a custom bezel in brass, sterling silver, 14k gold, 18k gold, or 22k gold specifically for this coin, preserving its unique shape while creating a timeless piece that can be worn every day.
