Ephesus Bee Coin

This enamel pin is inspired by one of the best-known ancient coin designs from the Greek city of Ephesus. The bee served as the symbol of the goddess Artemis and held an important place in the religious and civic life of the ancient metropolis. Its finely detailed rendering turns the pin into a distinctive accessory for a jacket, bag, or backpack, adding a subtle nod to classical antiquity to everyday outfits. Easy to wear and collect, it appeals to anyone with an interest in ancient art and history, and makes a small but meaningful gift or souvenir of a visit to the Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna.
