@HondoB 's suggestion I moving this post to this appropriate yjread: I love the Guatemala 1/4 Real coin, plus they are silver (0.835). I have a MS coin coming too, but this piece is interesting. What do you think? Obverse is three volcanoes (volcanoes of Lake Atitlan), one smoking, and a shining sun. Reverse is 1/4 Real statement with a wreath and 5 stars. There are 63 1/4 real coins (1894-1897; 0.835 fine), and one 1899 1/2 Real (0.60 fine) at the end. I would probably rather had the coins unsoldered into a bracelet, but this is likely a gift for a family member.

I bought a box lot of world coins at a local online auction and this bracelet was in the box.  The chain is 1/20 12k G.F. and the deer is magnetic. The coins are, 1913 10 Rappen, Switzerland 1950 50 Pfennig, Germany 1952 1 Franc, Luxembourg 1951 25 Cents, Netherlands 1936 10 Rappen, Switzerland 1950 20 Rappen, Switzerland-hole plug.

very nice Tunnioc - I guess that the 1950 20 Rappen, Switzerland-hole plug. was initially holed in the wrong spot first

Very interesting, Tunnioc! It's curious that they took the time to fill the hole on that 20 Rappen, as it probably cost more to do that than just get another coin.
