Title Indian 1916 silver coin mounted as a charm for bracelet
Nationality British Empire
Period 1916
Sold

This charm measures barely 3/4 inch across. It is in the shape of the Great War service cap. The mount is copper or brass with a gilt finish. Like the sweetheart brooches of the same era, this was undoubtedly made with T. Atkins' girl in mind.The 3-anna coin was the lowest value silver coin of India in the early 20th century.

The gilt has worn on the surround of the coin itself, but it is otherwise in quite good condition for its age.

The parcel has arrived - at the time you indicated.

The sword lives up to expectations and looks even better than on the website. The detail and etching is superb.

Thanks so much for your help and the extra information.
