This 1733 Spanish Hand Milled Cross Coin Pendant, set in a refined 18K gold handcrafted frame, exudes timeless elegance and historical depth, making it a perfect piece for everyday wear. The coin, originally minted during the reign of Philip V, carries with it the rich heritage of Spain’s colonial empire at the height of its global influence. Sourced from a private collection, this pendant holds a unique place in history, and its quarter-sized dimensions make it a versatile and striking accessory.
On the obverse, you’ll find the regal Bourbon Coat of Arms, crowned to signify the authority of King Philip V. The legend "PHILIPPUS V, D.G." (Dei Gratia—by the Grace of God) encircles the emblem, reinforcing the divine right of kings. The mint mark "S" to the left indicates Seville as the coin's place of origin, while on the right, the denomination "II" (Two Reales) and the assayer's mark "PA" provide authentication of its value and craftsmanship.
The reverse showcases the iconic Greek cross, with lions of Leon and castles of Castile occupying the quadrants. These symbols pay tribute to the historical regions that played a crucial role in shaping Spain’s identity and power, particularly under Queen Isabella of Castile.
Weighing 5.9 grams and masterfully hand-milled in Seville, this silver coin is brought to life by its handcrafted 18K gold setting, creating a harmonious balance of history and luxury.
