Corinthian Helios Tetra Drachma
One of Paul’s customers purchased an authentic, ancient Greek coin, a Corinthian Helios Tetra Drachma, which she wanted to wear as a pendant. Recently, she brought it to Paul and said she wanted something very simple so the coin would be the focus of the pendant. He created this 22 karat yellow gold frame for it and bezel set the coin into it. The back of the coin is open so one can see the head of Athena. Corinthian coins with Pegasus on one side and a head of Athena or Aphrodite on the reverse date from the 4th century B.C.
