My partner said if it were theirs, they would remove the coin to wear it, which is certainly an option. Haha.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhat really stands out is the clasp. It honestly gave me chills. It was my first time seeing one like it, and it was an eye-opening experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis is an incredible chain bracelet weighing over 100g, featuring French hallmarks used up until the 1960s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAccessories adorned with such coins actually have a very long history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIt is said that in Eastern Arab culture, it began when a man would gift gold coins to a woman he had decided to marry,\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eand the woman would then wear them as jewelry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWith gold coins holding substantial value just in their weight alone,\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI imagine the idea was for her to be able to sell them if anything ever happened to him.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOver time, this practice shifted to more affordable silver coins and was passed down through North Africa,\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eand because that region was a French colony, they became franc coins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe silver chains were also made to be heavy to ensure the piece had inherent value.
