A masterwork from Bvlgari's celebrated "Monete" collection — Italian for "coins" — this circa 1970s necklace fuses ancient history with modern luxury craftsmanship. At its center, a rare, large oval Roman follis coin rests within a substantial 18kt yellow gold bezel, its aged surface a striking contrast to the polish of the gold. The reverse of the setting bears the engraving"FOLLIS · IMPERO ROMANO · MASSIMINO DAZA · 305–313 AD,"referencing Roman Emperor Maximinus Daza, whose profile is struck on the coin's face.
