Alexander the Great – Silver Drachm Pendant in Solid 18k Gold #2

A Coin of Conquest, Reborn in Gold
This pendant features a genuine silver drachm struck in the name of Alexander III of Macedon—better known as Alexander the Great. Issued over 2,300 years ago, during or shortly after his reign, it reflects the enduring iconography of one of history’s most ambitious rulers. Now hand-set in solid 18k gold, the coin lives on as a wearable link to the ancient world.

The Coin

• Type: Silver Drachm of Alexander the Great (or a successor king continuing his legacy)

• Date: c. 336–300 BC

• Obverse: The hero Herakles, facing right, wears the lion-skin headdress of the Nemean lion—a symbol of divine favor and heroic might. Though presented as Herakles, the portrait is often interpreted as a stylized image of Alexander himself.

• Reverse: Zeus, enthroned and holding a scepter and eagle, embodies regal authority. The inscription ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ (“of Alexander”) marks the coin’s allegiance to his empire and name.

The Setting
Hand-set in solid 18k gold, the bezel is crafted to the coin’s natural contours, offering both protection and elegance. No two bezels are alike—each one is shaped by the artifact it surrounds.

Chain Included:

Comes with an elegant sterling silver chain (18–20 inch adjustable). You may also select a solid 18k gold chain upgrade at checkout.

Historical Significance

Their consistent design helped unify a continent-spanning empire, projecting power and legitimacy through divine imagery.
