Not uncommon to see that the first two were holed for chains (even though it seems like sacrilege to despoil such a beautiful piece). </p><p><br /></p><p>People have been making coins and medals into jewelry since the inception of coinage. Most coins that were holed or pierced throughout history were done to be worn around the neck or affixed to an article of clothing.</p><p><br /></p><p>I can appreciate the fullsome female figure in the third medal which represents the ideal of feminine beauty of the period. How different from the stick figures that today&#039;s fashion dictates as the modern ideal.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
