{"product_id":"ascalon-nike-tetradrachm-greek-coin-replica","title":"Ascalon Nike Tetradrachm Greek Coin Replica – Ancient Collectible","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis Ascalon tetradrachm replica is inspired by one of the most elegant coins of the Hellenistic world — the silver tetradrachm struck by the ancient Philistine city of Ascalon (modern Ashkelon, Israel) during the 2nd and 1st centuries BC. The obverse features a laureate head facing right, hair flowing in long waves beneath a laurel wreath, with Greek lettering to the left reading Koras — a name associated with Persephone\/Kore, goddess of the harvest and the underworld, who was venerated at Ascalon. The reverse depicts Nike, the winged goddess of Victory, standing to the left with one arm raised holding a victor’s wreath aloft, her wings spread wide, draped robes falling to her feet, with Greek lettering reading Askalwnos — of Ascalon — to the left. The deep antique silver finish and large 40mm format give this replica the presence and weight of a museum-quality piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece is an ancient Greek collectible coin replica inspired by the Hellenistic tetradrachm of Ascalon, designed for display and collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the Design\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAscalon was one of the five great Philistine cities of the ancient Levant, situated on the Mediterranean coast of what is now southern Israel. Under Hellenistic influence from the 4th century BC onwards, Ascalon adopted Greek culture, language, and coinage — striking tetradrachms that combined Greek iconography with local religious traditions. The Kore\/Persephone obverse reflects the city’s veneration of the goddess, while the Nike reverse — Victory herself — speaks to the Hellenistic ideal of divine favour in war and commerce. The original tetradrachm is today a rare and highly sought-after coin among collectors of ancient Levantine and Greek coinage. This replica captures the portrait style, the Nike reverse, and the antique silver finish of the original in a large-format collectible piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eObverse:\u003c\/strong\u003e Laureate head facing right with laurel wreath, Greek lettering inspired by Koras inscription\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReverse:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nike winged Victory standing left, wreath raised, Greek lettering inspired by Askalwnos inscription\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brass with antique silver plating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Antique silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackaging:\u003c\/strong\u003e Protective case included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDisplayed images show the collectible design and relief detail.
