This pendant features a bronze coin minted during the Carthaginian occupation of Sicily, between 220 and 215 BC, in the time of the great general Hannibal. Carthage was the most developed empire in the Western Mediterranean for centuries, but its conflict with the rising power of Rome in the Punic Wars would lead to its defeat and eventual disappearance.
The coin depicts a bust of Tanit, the most important goddess in Carthaginian mythology, who was also the deity of the island of Ibiza. On the reverse side, a horse and a palm tree are shown.

Owning an antique, an object that is part of history, creates a special feeling: we wonder who it might have belonged to, what times its first owner lived in, and what their life was like.
The Antiques Collection is composed of genuine antiques for which we design gold settings, transforming them into unique and exclusive pieces of jewelry without altering them: no two are ever alike.
In addition to their beauty and historical significance, both the antique item and the gold will appreciate in value over time. Most importantly, this jewel will become part of your own story forever.
