Byzantine coin design reflected the Empires close ties to Christianity. Portrayals of the cross and of the saints are common, but no figure appears as regularly as Christ himself. One representation of Christ is that of the bold full figure of Christ found on the gold histamenon nomisma coinage. These coins, when mounted in 18k gold bezels, make exceptionally beautiful and historically significant pieces of religious jewelry. The Byzantine Empire, centered in Constantinople (modern day Istanbul), is generally accepted as beginning in 491 AD with the reign of Anastasius I, and ending in 1453 AD with the toppling of Constantinople by the Ottoman Turks. Certificates of Authenticity accompany all Religious Ancient Byzantine Gold Histamenon coin jewelry. View a typical New World Treasures photo type Certificate of Authenticity.
