Peter Reynaers

A gold solidus of Julian II the Apostate, presented in a gold and silver swivel pendant. The obverse of the coin depicts a pearl-diademed and bearded bust of the emperor, looking right. He wears a drape and cuirasse: military attire that portrays the emperor as a successful war leader. An inscription, known as a legend, encircles the bust and reads; FL CL IVLIANVS P P AVG, This indicates the name of the emperor, Julian, and his title as Augustus.  The reverse presents  a soldier, standing to the right, head to left, holding a trophy and dragging a captive by the hair. The legend on the reverse reads; VIRTVS EXERCITVS ROMANORVM, one again  celebrating the emperor as a powerful military leader. Another short inscription appears at the bottom, reading ANT  Θ in exergue, indicating the coin was minted in Antioch.

The coin is surrounded by an 18k modern gold frame, with a diamond adornment at the bottom. This is connected to a swivel pendant, made of silver, via two large domed terminals. These hinges lead to a decorated ribbed silver handle which twists in the centre to hold a suspension loop. The coin can rotate exposing both sides of the coin.

Please be aware that the chain is for reference only,
