This unisex necklace captures the spirit of the American west with its genuine US coin pendant. The pendant features a rope and green enamel bezel housing a authentic United States Indian Head Penny, minted between 1859 and 1909. This piece of history is securely mounted in a western-style bezel, adding a rich historical touch to the necklace.
The pendant hangs elegantly from a 24-inch steel rope chain, with a 3-inch extender for adjustable length. The chain is finished with a durable lobster claw clasp for secure closure. The Indian Head Penny, crafted from copper, was designed by James B. Longacre over a century ago.
Legend has it that Longacre's daughter, Sarah, served as the inspiration for the design, modeling a headdress gifted to the White House by a Native American chief. However, some sources suggest that Longacre drew inspiration from the Greek statue of Venus. The coin's obverse initially featured a laurel wreath, later replaced by an oak wreath.
The Indian Head Penny was exclusively minted in Philadelphia without a mint mark until production expanded to the San Francisco Mint in 1908. Each necklace comes in a sleek white jewelry box and is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity, guaranteeing the genuine nature of the coin. Additionally, a 1-year manufacturer's warranty is included to ensure the quality of the piece.
Overall, this necklace is a unique and timeless piece that pays homage to the rich history of the American West. Its combination of intricate design and genuine coinage make it a perfect accessory for anyone looking to add a touch of Americana to their wardrobe.
