This pendant is made from a genuine Palestinian 50 mils coin, mounted on sterling silver 925 and fully handcrafted by Ahmad, a Palestinian jeweler from Jerusalem’s Old City (Al Quds). Each pendant comes with a free sterling silver chain.
The coin is 3 cm in diameter and bears remarkable details. On the reverse side, the word “Palestine” appears in Arabic, English, and Hebrew, along with the minting date. On the obverse, the value is inscribed alongside an olive branch, a powerful symbol of Palestinian identity and peace.
Wearing this pendant means carrying both an elegant jewel and a museum-worthy piece of history. Over time, its value only increases. Above all, it stands as material evidence that Palestine existed long before 1948, countering narratives that deny its past.
The Palestine pound (جُنَيْه فِلَسْطَينِيّ) was the official currency between 1927 and 1947. It replaced the Ottoman pound after 1917 and the Egyptian pound. Issued by the Palestine Currency Board, coins and notes bore inscriptions in Arabic, English, and Hebrew. Coins were struck until 1947, although those from that year never circulated, while banknotes ceased production in 1945.

Ahmad is a third-generation jeweler, continuing his family's legacy in the heart of Jerusalem’s Old City, where he runs his own workshop. A true artisan and artist, he handcrafts each piece of jewelry from start to finish with exceptional care and precision.
Specializing in gold and silver, Ahmad is particularly passionate about antique Palestinian coins, which he transforms into unique, history-infused jewelry pieces. He also offers customizable designs and a refined collection of Roman glass jewelry, made from nearly 2,000-year-old fragments found in Palestine.
Since October 7, 2023, Ahmad—like many Palestinian artisans in Jerusalem—has faced a devastating situation. With the disappearance of tourism and the closure of most shops in the Old City, he has been unable to sell his work. On top of this, he faces regular harassment from the Israeli police due to his creations rooted in Palestinian heritage.
Now 35 years old and the father of three children, Ahmad continues to create with passion and resilience, driven by his love for his craft, the memory of his land, and the vital support of people like you.
