[QUOTE="JoIke, post: 7908228, member: 112092"]Thanks for your reply! Yes, the mounts are marked for metal purity and I agree with you overall assessment of these. Coins do appear to be sterling silver repros. The lion roundel could have possibly been a brooch, badge, fitting, applique, etc. Closer examination of the metal, it does not appear bronze as first thought but most likely pewter or lead. Very well done and very nice detail. I have not been able to track down a comp so far in researching. Origin, I have not a clue and age, possibly 17th/18th C. as you suggested, but given the "ugliness" of the lion, it looks earlier(?)[/QUOTE]
