 UNISEX 14k Ring w/Ancient Greek Silver Coin, ca.460 BCE! - 707
460 BCE for the Greek silver coin, this ring is a handsome jewel suitable for wear by a lady or a gentleman!
The focal point of the ring is the 2,460-year-old silver Greek coin, which is collet-set in a Roman-style mounting of 14k gold (marked and tested).
These small silver coins are scarce today, for when the obol was changed to bronze during the 3rd century BCE, most of the silver examples were melted down to make coins of a larger denomination.

Early in the fifth century BCE hollow-cast bronze, which the Greeks kept shiny, became the favourite material for statues (though not for reliefs or pedimental figures), but because of the extreme scarceness of the metal in the Middle Ages very few Greek examples have survived - perhaps twenty in all.
The same scheme is used for the bronze Charioteer from Delphi (no. 93, at the further end of the middle of Bay B): this figure, of the late 470s, stood originally in a chariot with four horses abreast and wears the regulation long chiton of the racing driver.
Their creation date is around 460 BCE and, like other big pedimental groups, they were carved by several craftsmen to a design that left to them the planning of the details, including the arrangement of the drapery.
