Ottoman Coin Pendant Necklace
“Struck in Istanbul in 1203 AH (1788–1789 CE)”
This striking necklace centers on a genuine Ottoman-style coin, faithfully recreating the original imperial issue minted in Istanbul (then called Islambol) during the first regnal year of Sultan Selim III. Suspended from a finely polished 18-inch sterling silver chain, the pendant bears the classic Arabic legend:
ضرب في اسلامبول 1203
Struck in Istanbul in 1203 AH
(1788–1789 CE)
Every detail—from the delicately raised script to the subtly aged patina—evokes the grandeur of late-18th-century Ottoman artistry. The lightweight yet substantial medallion sits flat against the neckline, making it equally perfect for everyday wear or as a conversation-starting statement piece at special occasions.
