This circa 1970's 18kt yellow gold necklace from BVLGARI's iconic "Monete" collection is the ultimate blend of antiquity with contemporary luxury. A sizable antique bronze coin, highlighted with age old patina, sits within a thick gold bezel. Engraving on the setting's reverse reads: "FOLLIS - IMPERO ROMANO · MASSIMINO DAZA · 305·313 AD", in reference to the Roman Emperor Maximinus Daza who is depicted on the front of the coin. Unique geometric curb links carry the coin with a pleasant heavy weight. This necklace is more than a piece of jewelry - it's an emblem of an appreciation of history, heritage, and fine craftsmanship.
