Very strange piece. This is what I can gather. This is a handmade coin pendant. I believe it to be silver. The larger coin is a Chile 1 Peso coin. But if you look closely at the middle you will see a 1894 1/2 Real from Guatemala. The outside of the coin has 1/4 Real coins. You will also see creatures which I have no idea what they are. It measures approximately 2 3/8 " in diameter and weights 48 grams.
Has anyone see anything like this? What kind of animals are these? Still a wonderful and strange piece.
I sent many friends presents from Guatemala in the 80's & when I moved, I realized that I had no souvenir for myself & bought a silver & turquoise belt buckle. Really nice one! Looked on the back when I got back home in St. Eustatius & it said "MADE IN MEXICO". LOL!
