Struck in Alexandria during the high and late Roman Empire, these potin tetradrachms are thick, expressive coins with unmistakable desert patinas. Their portraits, reverse symbols, and regnal-year markings reflect a fusion of Roman authority and Egyptian tradition. Sold as non-attributed but hand-selected for above-average detail, each coin offers a meaningful and accessible way to own a tangible artifact of Roman Egypt.

Testimonials
My four daughters absolutely LOVED them! Your work is excellent and the pendants look great- Thank you!
— Eva S.
Thank you for making this spectacular necklace! I provided the denarius of Julia Domna, and they did the rest. I was delighted with the results - and so (more importantly) was my girlfriend.
— Garrett Ryan from Toldinstone
Got the ring today! Love it!
— Margaret B.
The Athenian Owl pendants are awesome! We're saving the gift for a special occasion. My wife loved it, she got it and was all hushed quiet, that smile while opening and handling it for the first few minutes. It's special.
— Joe E.
