[QUOTE="houtonaj, post: 2044180, member: 73110"]I hope you guys can help me. ... Years ago, I acquired this bracelet for my WWII jewelry collection, sub-category coin bracelets. I came across it again today and I got curious about it. The person I bought it from didn't know what it was. I believed it was probably a WWII souvenir item and the coins were never actual legal tender. Is this assumption correct? Or, were coins minted without the back imprint? Has anyone here ever seen any others like this? I have many WWII coin bracelets so I am familiar with them but I have never seen replica coins made for a WWII bracelet. If anyone could tell more about this please write. I am interested in the historical aspect of the item, for instance; around what year might these have been created and what the circumstances may have been, occupation? 'Wilhelmina Koningin Der Nederalander' printed on one side. Queen W is facing left, long hair The back of the 'coin' is blank. Measures about 18 mm round. The material seems softer than standard coins. Maybe it is zinc, lead, pewter or a mix... ? Thank you so much for your expertise! ~Ann [ATTACH=full]373932[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]373931[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
