Shekel Pendant - A Pendant with History!

In 66CE, the Jews rebelled against Roman rule and began to mint their own coins, called Shekels, as a sign of their independence. The coin in this pendant was cast from a half-shekel, in The Jewish Museum in New York, which dates to the first year of the revolt. Both sides of the coin are visible, and it revolves. Decorated with chalice and pomegranate on either face. This is an authorized reproduction cast by the lost-wax method. Shekel itself is 5/8" in diameter, and chain is 18". Comes in gift box.
