Konstantinata

Purposeful Coin Jewelry

The gold Byzantine coin was first minted by Emperor Constantine the Great and became a pivotal monetary unit in both the Byzantine Empire and Medieval Europe. Featuring his likeness, it came to be known as the Konstantinata.

Beyond its role as currency, the Konstantinata symbolizes the mystery and enduring power of an empire that continues to resonate with Greeks around the world. Today, the tradition of giving coins as a symbol of blessing and good fortune remains widespread—a practice that traces its origins back to this historic coin.

Although there is no strict rule about how to wear coin, the most common presentation style for Konstantinata is in tandem with a cross (shown here).
