Details
Authentic Rhodian silver coin set in 18K yellow gold. Handmade in Rome.
History

An exquisite Rhodian coin, featuring the radiate head of Helios, the patron god of Rhodes and the personification of the Sun. Helios, revered for bringing harmony and order to both society and the cosmos, is magnificently depicted here, embodying his divine essence.

According to myth, the island of Rhodes emerged from the sea as a special gift to Helios from Zeus, who had overlooked him when allocating cities and islands to the gods. This mythological connection highlights the island's deep reverence for Helios.

The reverse of the coin shows the iconic rose, emblematic of Rhodes. The Greek word for rose, ρόδov (rhodon), also names the nymph Rhodos, daughter of Aphrodite and mother of Helios' seven sons. This symbol highlights the intertwined legacy of Helios and the island’s mythological heritage.

Rhodes itself is a stunning island, spanning approximately 45 miles in length and 23 miles at its widest point, located just 12 miles off the southernmost tip of the southwestern Carian mainland, now modern-day Turkey.

Care

Each ancient coin and artefact used in our jewellery has been restored and professionally stabilised to ensure it can be enjoyed for lifetimes. Patina, the natural toning and oxidation on silver or bronze coins, is not dirt; it is a protective layer formed over hundreds of years, adding to the coin’s unique history. Conservation efforts aim to stabilise and preserve these valuable patinas whenever possible. Silver naturally tones over time, developing a soft to deep grey with brighter highlights on raised surfaces. This toning is highly coveted, adding a touch of age and beauty to the coin’s details that only time can provide.
