Empires Fall - Byzantine Nummus Coin Necklace

A relic of a stolen empire. This replica nummus coin evokes the twilight of Byzantium—an empire once draped in gold, undone not by heathens, but by so-called Christians. In 1204, during the Fourth Crusade, Latin crusaders turned their blades toward Constantinople, sacking the city with a ferocity unmatched even by its enemies. They plundered relics, shattered icons, melted sacred coins to pay mercenaries, and tore a thousand years of imperial glory from its walls.

Not just any coin necklace; it is a symbol of the hypocrisy that devours empires from within. A reminder that faith wielded as a weapon corrupts absolutely. 

Details:
Hand-cast from a real Byzantine nummus coin.
Oxidized solid sterling silver
Approximately 30mm diameter
Pendant available with or without the chain shown.
