Carry a genuine piece of medieval England with this handcrafted pendant featuring an authentic Edwardian silver penny. Originally struck by hand over 650 years ago, this remarkable coin once circulated throughout medieval England during the reign of one of England's Kings Edward.
The silver penny was the backbone of England's medieval economy, used by everyone from merchants and craftsmen to pilgrims and nobles. Every coin was individually hammered by hand, meaning no two are ever exactly alike. Its irregular shape, striking imperfections and centuries of wear make each piece a unique survivor of history.
This pendant displays the iconic Long Cross reverse, a design introduced to help prevent clipping and protect the kingdom's silver currency. The distinctive cross dividing the coin into four quarters became one of the most recognisable symbols of medieval English coinage and remains highly sought after by collectors today.
Lovingly mounted in a handcrafted sterling silver setting, the original coin remains the centrepiece while being securely protected. Every scratch, edge and mark reflects hundreds of years of history before beginning a new life as a wearable piece of England's past.
At Lost Empire Pendants, we believe history should be worn, not hidden away. Every pendant is individually handcrafted using genuine historic coins, creating a timeless piece of jewellery that connects its wearer to the medieval world.
