What is on the other end of the chain, and what does the other side look like? These might be clues as to why somebody would do this.

I have seen other coins with similar insets and all have the same 5 pointed star in which the stone is set. I presumed this was someone trying to add sparkle to a coin and make it more decorative for jewellery as the stone looks like glass.

Here is one set into an 1896 British 3 pence.
