The shining gold centerpiece of this sophisticated and elegant pendant is an Italian coin struck in 1994 which was in circulation before the Euro became the "coin of the land." The 1-1/4" pendant is encased about the edges by a sterling silver bezel. This coin appears to be in un-circulated condition.  Around the image of the head is written "Republica Intaliana."  The 18" chain is an "S chain" of sterling silver.
