The Antiquity Double Sided Coin Pendant features Zeus holding his Eagle on one side and the Hercules, wearing the lion's skin on the other side.
Zeus was the god of the sky in ancient Greek mythology. As the chief Greek deity, Zeus was considered the ruler, protector, and father of all gods and humans. The Eagle of Zeus was a giant, golden eagle which served as Zeus' personal messenger and animal companion.
Hercules was a legendary hero renowned for his incredible strength, courage, and adventures. He was the son of Zeus, the king of the gods, and Alcmene, a mortal woman. Hercules' extraordinary deeds and trials, known as the Twelve Labors of Hercules, are among the most famous tales of Greek mythology. One of Hercules' most notable feats was defeating the Nemean Lion as one of his Twelve Labors. He thereafter wore the lion's skin as a cloak, with the lion's head typically draped over his own head. Depictions of Hercules wearing the lion skin are common in ancient art and mythology, symbolizing his status as a legendary hero and demigod.
This coin pendant is made by 18K gold-filled* sterling silver and hangs from a 14K gold-plated sterling silver chain of 50cm, making it perfect both for layering and solo performances!
