Description & specifications

Struck like a coin, worn like a medal.

The Double-Sided Musa of Mali and Ethiopian Lion of Judah Diamond Circular Pendant is built on the logic of a commemorative coin. The obverse carries a satin-finished bust of Mansa Musa I — crown set over a wrapped headdress, a heavy robe, a disc pendant at the chest — with MUSA I OF MALI raised in caps around the upper arc and the dates 1280 and 1337 flanking the portrait.

Two concentric borders separate the field from the edge: a chevron band cut in a continuous zigzag, then a fine beaded ring. Outside both, a single row of hand-set diamonds runs the full circumference, so the stones frame the die rather than sitting on it. That is what keeps a coin design reading as a coin.

The reverse carries the Ethiopian Lion of Judah — a walking crowned lion in relief, with an Amharic inscription arcing above and below — on the same satin ground and inside the same beaded ring and pavé border. Both faces are finished, and the double-row diamond bail lets it hang either way round.

The two faces span the continent: a West African emperor on the obverse, the Ethiopian imperial lion on the reverse.

At 1.25" across and 35g in 18K it has coin weight in the hand — dense and flat rather than tall.

Why You’ll Love It:

  • Commemorative Coin Format – Raised legend and dates struck around a satin portrait
  • Mansa Musa Portrait – Crown, headdress and robe modelled in relief
  • Double Border – A cut chevron band inside a fine beaded ring
  • Pavé Rim – Diamonds framing the full circumference, off the die itself
  • Two Finished Faces – The Ethiopian Lion of Judah and Amharic inscription on the reverse

The Double-Sided Musa of Mali and Ethiopian Lion of Judah Diamond Circular Pendant treats a portrait as currency, which given the subject is the point.

Made to order, turnaround time is typically 2-4 weeks.
