Coin Pendant with Double-Headed Eagle
Jewelry / Numismatic Artifacts

Coin Pendant with Double-Headed Eagle

This item is a circular coin or coin-like medallion mounted as a pendant. The central feature is a relief of a Double-Headed Eagle, a heraldic symbol traditionally associated with various historical empires, most notably the Russian Empire (Romanov Dynasty) or the Byzantine and Austro-Hungarian Empires. The piece is crafted from a dark-toned metallic alloy, possibly silver with a heavy aged patina or a base copper-nickel alloy that has oxidized over time. The coin is encased in a smooth, metallic bezel frame that secures the edges without obscuring the face. At the top of the frame, there is a small cylindrical mounting point attached to a jump ring, through which a larger black cord or wire loop is threaded for wearing as a necklace. Physically, the item appears to be roughly 20-30mm in diameter. The condition shows significant signs of age and wear; the relief of the eagle is somewhat softened by friction, and the metal surface exhibits dark oxidation and localized pitting. There are no clearly legible inscriptions or dates visible in the image due to the level of surface wear and photographic resolution, but the style suggests a late 19th or early 20th-century origin. The craftsmanship is functional, focusing on the conversion of a piece of currency or a commemorative token into a wearable memento.
