<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 314203, member: 5833&quot;]Ring is meant to look as though it is set with an ancient coin, but does not really appear to be a genuine coin.&nbsp; May be from an impression of a very eroded specimen or original design in that manner.</p><p><br /></p><p>The figure is wearing a &#039;mural crown&#039;, representing city walls, seen on Cybele, Tyche &amp; Tanit.&nbsp; Tyche is common on coins, where she can be a representation of the city, an expression of its strength &amp; welfare, plus good fortune/prosperity more generally.&nbsp; This coin was made at Smyrna c. 250 CE:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.coinworld.com/content/dam/cw/insights/2014/June/060214/SWAT_June2014/CNG75Lot384.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>I do not recognize the lady on the ring, a question a numismatist might be able to answer.</p><p><br /></p><p>In the views shown I see a possibility the ring dates to the Georgian period.&nbsp; A view showing it from the side would have more info.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
