Brides used to wear these in strings, around their foreheads. The holes help to suggest this, although holed silver and gold coins were used for adornment as well. Report this Post to the Staff

It would originally have been gilt-plated, though the coin which it is more or less modelled off is actually a silver coin from Ottoman-controlled Algeria; do a forum search for "Imitation Ottoman Algeria" and you'll find a whole bunch of posts with similar "coins", such as this one. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
