Description
This exceptional pendant combines timeless elegance with historical significance. Crafted in sterling silver 925, it frames an authentic 2 mils Palestinian coin, carefully set by Ahmad, a skilled artisan jeweler from Jerusalem’s Old City.
The bronze coin, measuring 3 cm in diameter, features on its reverse the word Palestine engraved in Arabic, English, and Hebrew, along with its minting date. The obverse side bears the coin’s value encircled by an olive branch, the enduring emblem of peace and rootedness in Palestinian culture. Each pendant is unique, with variations in the coin’s date, making every piece truly one of a kind.
More than jewelry, this pendant is a tangible fragment of history, a museum-worthy artifact you can wear close to your heart. It stands as undeniable proof of Palestine’s existence prior to 1948, offering both a symbol of resilience and a personal statement of solidarity.
Handcrafted in Jerusalem by Ahmad, this creation is rooted in Palestinian artisanal tradition. The included sterling silver chain perfectly complements the pendant, allowing you to wear this piece of living history with elegance.
The story of the Palestinian coin
The Palestinian pound (جُنَيْه فِلَسْطِينِيّ) was the official currency between 1927 and 1947. Issued by the Palestine Currency Board, it replaced the Ottoman and Egyptian pounds. Today, these coins are rare relics, serving as lasting proof of a Palestine that existed long before the Nakba, preserved in material culture and memory.
Wearing this pendant means honoring Palestine’s history, supporting Palestinian craftsmanship, and carrying a timeless symbol of identity and endurance.
An original Palestinian coin, transformed into jewellery by the hands of a Jerusalem artisan.
In his workshop in Jerusalem’s Old City, Ahmad transforms an authentic 2 mils coin into a distinctive pendant. He crafts the sterling silver 925 setting entirely by hand, carefully designed to reveal the details of the coin without concealing the traces of its history. A sterling silver 925 chain completes the necklace.
On one side, the name “Palestine” appears in Arabic, English and Hebrew, alongside the year the coin was minted. On the other, an olive branch surrounds its denomination. Over time, the bronze has developed its own unique patina; the year and appearance therefore vary from one piece to another. The pendant measures approximately 3 cm.
One coin, one story
Introduced in 1927 under the British Mandate, the Palestine pound included this 2 mils coin. Dating from 1927–1947, it preserves a tangible trace of Palestine before the Nakba of 1948: its name, engraved into the metal in three languages.
Ahmad gives the coin a new life without erasing the one it has already lived. This sterling silver Palestinian coin necklace brings together the beauty of handcrafted jewellery and the strength of a heritage to be worn close to you.
Avoid contact with water, perfume and household products. Gently wipe the silver with a soft cloth after wearing and store the necklace in a dry place.
The patina of the antique coin is part of its unique character. Do not use abrasive products to clean it.
