Altered Coin Bracelet

Chain bracelet of twisty links with a big coin as the centrepiece.

This is an altered coin bracelet. Many coin bracelets are made by flattening, drilling or reshaping old coins, and the original designs and lettering often remain visible on the finished surface. Hand-formed links in a bright polished tone, fastened by a round sprung clasp. A round coin showing a crowned, bearded portrait and an edge inscription hangs between two knotted-wire connectors at the front.

A crowned face on a wrist that moves.
