With permission, here's an excerpt from Gary Ascher's article, "WWI Military Themed Engraved Coin Bracelet." Thank you.
-Editor
When I first spied this bracelet, I was immediately
excited as I knew that I had just discovered a bracelet
of engraved coins from WWI. As an advanced
collector of worldwide military tokens, including
British military tokens, I recognized several British
military crests.
Often, on British military canteen tokens, the
obverse prominently features a military crest, so I
was very familiar with many British military crests.
The seller"s description further confirmed my belief.
The bracelet is made of eight (8) silver 50 centimes
French coins, connected by silver links. The coins are
dated either 1916 or 1917.
All of the engravings are very intricate. The coins are
relatively small, so it is hard to read all the details.
