One of the oldest Egyptian coins was put into the necklace, which is quite precious. The remainder of the necklace is thought to date to approximately 250 BCE, much like the coin. “Arsinoe, a former Queen of Egypt during the three-centuries-long Ptolemaic Dynasty,” is thought to be represented by the necklace.
