This type of necklace is a traditional piece of jewelry worn by Guatemalan women. The pendant is made of a large real coin, Several smaller coins are welded to the large coin on the pendant and there are coins mixed wtith the beads on the necklace. The large coin is dated 1894 and is probably a restike, but an old restrike, There are ten reals on the necklace, two 1/2 reals and two 1/4 reals. The drilled coins are probably real coins. All dated arouund 1910. There are crosses and metal charms on the necklace as well as old Guatemalan silver beads. The pendant has charm dangles. Two quezal bird (National bird of Guatemala)charms are welded to the top of the coin pendant. It is in excellent vintage condition. This is one of the nicest Chachals that I have seen and is all original., The coin pendant is 2 1/2: wide with the charm dangles about 2" long.
