Silver necklace made of 29 Guatemala cob minors (one 2R, 27 1R and one 1/2R), several with visible dates. 89.51 grams total. Fascinating colonial artifact made from 29 genuine coins connected with tiny, soldered-on loops (broken in one place, easily reparable) with the single 2R (1737?) situated as a pendant, all the coins with visible details and some with clear dates including 1737, 1739, 1745, 1747 and 1751, grades from Good to Fine, only one with a tiny hole and one with stamped-in initials C.H.R. next to the clasp (which is affixed to the entire reverse of a 1/2R 1737), gaudy by today's standards but surely a status symbol in its time.
