This exquisite 1382-1400 Venetian Christ Enthroned & Doge Coin Pendant is a stunning artifact from the Venetian Republic, featuring a hand-milled silver grosso coin set in a handcrafted sterling silver frame with elegant 18K gold accents. About the size of a quarter, this pendant carries both historical significance and timeless beauty.
On the obverse, Christ is depicted enthroned, a powerful symbol of the spiritual foundation of Venice and its devotion to Christianity. The image of Christ enthroned reflects Venice’s position as both a political and religious power in the Mediterranean world.
The reverse portrays a traditional scene of the Doge receiving the banner from St. Mark, the patron saint of Venice, a visual representation of the authority granted to the Doge by both the council and divine favor. This imagery underscores the Doge’s role as a leader chosen for life, ruling with the blessing of both his people and his faith.
Carefully set in sterling silver with 18K gold accents, this pendant is not only a wearable piece of history but also a tribute to Venice’s unique blend of political, spiritual, and artistic heritage.
