Vintage 1936 Native American & Buffalo Nickel Coin Pendant Necklace
This handcrafted necklace features one Vintage Native American & Buffalo Nickel Coin, minted in the U.S. in 1936. The coin was one of the last designs to feature the beauty of Native Americans and contains a total of 4 genuine, untreated, round Sleeping Beauty Turquoise gemstones: a symbol of friendship.
These stones are also known to be symbols of protection.
The coin features a portrait of a Native American Chief on one side and a bison on the other. According to the United States Mint, two Native Americans, Chief Iron Tail of the Lakota Sioux and Chief Two Moons of the Cheyenne modeled for the coin. It is widely believed that the bison on the coin's reverse was modeled after Black Diamond, a popular attraction at the New York Zoological Gardens (United States Mint, 2012).
As with all U.S. coins, the image on one side is upside-down relative to the other.
The coin is attached to a sterling silver chain that is approximately 22-inches long, 2.1mm thick, and has been oxidized, then polished for its vintage look and feel. The chain also features Turquoise beads on both ends, a secure sterling silver lobster clasp closure
and it is .925 hallmarked. The wire and all other metal components on this necklace
are all solid .925 sterling silver as well.
Coin Dimensions: 22mm
Coin Composition: 75% Copper, 25% Nickel
Coin Bezel Setting: .925 Sterling Silver
Chain: .925 Sterling Silver
Turquoise Size: 3mm
Origin: Arizona, United States
A great conversation starter and a meaningful treasure to keep.
