This lovely example of a scalloped shell and dolphin was minted in Tarentum, Calabria around 300 BC. Set in 14k gold on a 9k gold belcher chain, we love this design for it’s sweetness and who doesn’t love a scallop shell?

A personal treasure embedded with history, each ancient coin is imprinted by ancient hands with a rich symbolic language of gods, goddesses, and mythical creatures. This coin was struck over two thousand years ago and set in gold to be worn by you today.
