Show your passion for horses by wearing this fascinating coin pendant featuring a prancing horse. Turn the coin over and show-off the female portrait of Amazon Warrior Kyme (protectress of the colony) too. Amazing handstruck bronze coin minted by the Greeks over 2000 years ago. We want you to wear this every day so we kept the design simple with this handcrafted 14K setting.
Kyme was by far the most important of the Aeolian coastal cities (modern day Turkey). Its large capable port made it a valuable maritime asset to the Persian Empire. For much of its history it was dominated by the great powers -- Persia, Athens, the Hellenistic Kingdoms and, finally Rome.
