Description from the seller

Ancient Roman Silver Antoninianus Pendant – Circa 3rd Century AD – 19 mm, 2 g

A genuine ancient Roman silver Antoninianus, dating to around the 3rd century AD, beautifully preserved and now mounted in a modern sterling silver pendant.

The obverse features a finely detailed portrait of a Roman emperor wearing a radiate crown, surrounded by a Latin inscription — typical of the silver Antoninianus, a denomination first introduced in the mid-3rd century AD to represent two denarii.

Details:

Type: Silver Antoninianus

Date: Circa 3rd Century AD

Material: Silver

Diameter: Approx. 19 mm

Weight: Approx. 2.00 g (coin only)

Condition: Very fine ancient condition; well-defined imperial portrait with clear legends, light wear consistent with age

Mount: Modern sterling silver pendant setting (non-invasive and reversible)

Provenance: From an established European collection, acquired in the UK



A remarkable example of ancient Roman coinage — once used in the heart of the empire, now transformed into a timeless piece of wearable history.
