History
This bronze coin was issued by Constantine the Great in A.D. 330 to mark the founding of Constantinople, his new capital. On one side, it shows the goddess "Constantinopolis" in a helmet and military gear, representing the city's importance and strength.
Constantine and his sons made these coins to show that both Rome and Constantinople were equally important, highlighting the new significance of Constantinople in the empire.
On the other side of the coin, Victory stands on the front of a ship, celebrating the naval victory of Crispus, Constantine's son, who captured Byzantium and renamed it Constantinople.
Constantine the Great is known for his major reforms and for supporting Christianity. His work in establishing Constantinople marked a key turning point in Roman history and helped shape the future of the empire.

Each ancient coin and artefact featured in our jewellery has been meticulously restored and professionally stabilised, ensuring it can be cherished for generations. The patina, a natural toning and oxidation on silver, bronze, and copper coins, is not merely dirt; it is a protective layer that has formed over centuries, contributing to the coin's unique history and character. Our conservation efforts focus on preserving these valuable patinas to maintain the authenticity and beauty of each piece. The rich patina, with its spectrum of dark to golden brown hues, is a testament to the coin's journey through time, making each one uniquely beautiful.
