Surrounding the coin on the pendant are eight strikingly three-dimensional male and female busts that may represent mythological figures. On the coin's reverse are portraits of Constantine's sons, Crispus and Constantine II, and an inscription indicating the coin was struck on New Year's Day, AD 324, to commemorate their third consulship. Crispus's execution in AD 326 suggests that the pendant was made between these dates. These gold elements formed part of one of the most elaborate pectorals, or necklaces, produced during the reign of Constantine the Great (AD 306-337). They come from a hoard of jewelry and coins that included four other coin-set pendants, two round and two hexagonal in shape, which are now dispersed between museums in Washington, London, and Paris. The Cleveland pendant, the only one octagonal in shape, must have been the ensemble's centerpiece.
