This bracelet is a combination of US and Canadian Coins. The US coins are 90% silver and the Canadian coins are 92.5% silver. This bracelet is unique in that the latch is more secure and a chain has been added as a special precaution against loss. The chain may have been added at a later date.
One coin is an 1888 Canadian 5 cent piece that has been polished on the obverse and a love token engraved in its place. The detailing is intricate and detailed and containes the word Papa. The Canadian coins are: 1874, 1881, 1888, 1905, and one with a worn date Five (5) Cents. The U.S. coins are: three (3) 1857 Half Dimes, and 1840 and 1843 Half Dimes.
