Description

Two coin-set jewellery items. The first is a large circular brooch featuring a United States Morgan silver dollar dated 1883. The obverse shows the profile of Liberty with the legend E PLURIBUS UNUM and the date. The reverse depicts a heraldic eagle within a wreath, inscribed UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and ONE DOLLAR, with the motto In God we trust in Gothic script above the eagle. The coin is held in a silver-toned metal frame decorated with fifteen spherical bosses. The reverse is fitted with a simple pin and tube hinge mechanism. The second item is a smaller circular brooch or pendant containing an enamelled British gold coin featuring King George IV. The obverse of the mount displays the British Royal Crest – a crowned lion statant guardant atop a crown – set against a light blue enamelled ground. A white enamelled border is inscribed BRITANNIARUM REX FIDEI DEFENSOR. The reverse of the mount reveals the original obverse of the gold coin, showing the profile head of King George IV and the legend GEORGIUS IV DEI GRATIA. The coin is set within a silver-toned frame with spherical boss decoration and a suspension loop at the top. The central coin appears to be gold, though no hallmarks are visible on the mounts; testing is recommended to confirm metal purity.
