[QUOTE="Eclectic Collector, post: 6628440, member: 118494"]The backstory, I sold a Guatemalan Milagro Necklace, or Chachal to Guatemalans, back in 2005 and regretted it ever since. I'll enclose pictures. It had Milagros and Guatemalan and Spanish or Mexican coins and cobs. The tiny charms are called Milagros, used to ask for miracles for healing the body part they represent. Sometimes they're hands, legs, hearts, lungs, eyes, etc. My Milagro necklace was the best and most authentic I've seen in decades and I've been trying to find its equal, (that I can afford), for nearly two decades, to no avail. Therefore, I've decided to try and assemble the parts to create another, each piece being exactly like the original, as much as is humanly possible. Here's where the coins come in, there were Guatemalan coins that are not too difficult to find, but then there are Spanish or Mexican cobs, one of them seems authentic. I would like to know what that coin is called and how I may find another. I bought what claims to be an authentic Spanish/ Mexican cob. It may be a Mexico 1618-Mo D Half Real; is it authentic? If you could tell me what the cob on the necklace is called and also if the coin I bought is authentic, I would be very appreciative. Thanks so much in advance, Mary [ATTACH=full]1267642[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1267643[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1267644[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1267645[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1267646[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
