A jewelry item consisting of a coin crafted from 14 karat gold, designed to be worn suspended from a chain or cord. The coin, typically of small diameter, features a loop or bail attached to its edge, facilitating its connection as an adornment. Such pieces frequently incorporate historical or commemorative coin designs, thereby adding numismatic and aesthetic value.
Possessing intrinsic precious metal value, these ornaments offer a tangible asset in addition to their decorative function. Their durability, owed to the alloyed nature of 14k gold (approximately 58.3% pure gold mixed with other metals), renders them suitable for daily wear. Historically, incorporating coinage into jewelry has symbolized wealth, status, or served as a personal memento of travel or significant events.
