602-610 C.E. Byzantine Angel Coin Pendant | Handcrafted 18K Gold Setting

Emperor Phocas (602–610 C.E.), of humble Thracian origin, rose to power during a period of military unrest in the Byzantine Empire. His reign, though brief, left behind a legacy of beautifully crafted coins like this Solidus, which symbolized the emperor’s authority and the strength of the empire. The obverse shows Phocas in his crown, holding a globe cross, a representation of his dominion over both spiritual and earthly realms. The legend reads DN FOCAS PERP AVG. On the reverse, an angel stands holding a P-headed cross, with the mint mark CONOB for Constantinople. This historical coin is carefully set in a handcrafted 18K gold setting, preserving its legacy while creating an elegant, wearable piece of Byzantine history. The pendant is about the size of a nickel. Product Description: Coin Type: Hand Milled Denomination: Solidus Mint: Ambrakia, Epistros Empire: Byzantine Empire Ruler: Phocas Date: 602-610 C.E.
