Few weeks ago I found this interesting copper bracelet. I was intrigued by the coins and it wasn't expensive so I bought it. Now I know these coins weren't real money, somewhere I read they were used as game tokens in the late 19th century. I would like to know more about the bracelet, can you date it approximately? Thank you.
Those coins are copies. Here is a bunch of jewelry and some other items designed with the same sort of coins:

Your bracelet, however , looks to be an oldie.!
Thank you CW folks for the luv, Thomas for your nice comment and Efesgirl for your info! I just now tried to peep under the coins, it seems they have nothing on other side, except ripple pattern, so they were made only for decoration.
I would wear it!
Lentilka, maybe I will! I love jewellery (which woman doesn't?), but I wear them rarely. Usually my bits and bobs are hidden ( and sometimes forgotten) in drawers.
Martika, my wife doesn't care for jewelry, even though she has some very nice and very expensive broaches, necklaces and rings (all inherited from her mother). But then she's still a tomboy trapped inside the body of a 60-something-year-old woman!..... lol. [;>)))
Nevada, in my experience all women care about jewelry, even if they don't admit it and never wear bling. They wouldn't give their jewelry away!!! :)))
I loved jewelry in my 20's, 30's and 40's but it began to bug me. The only way I can relate is it was like wearing a bra. LOL Sold most of it and got my daughter some diamond earrings several years ago. I still love looking at it!!
