Posted By: Mic Sat, Dec 16, 2017 Thank you! So I’m not sure I fully understand, the coins are just imitation? |

Posted By: Mic Tue, Dec 19, 2017 Thank you so much for the information. I understand now. I am still confused about the age. So if the coins are imitation, does that make this a recent piece? If you don’t mind, what kind of value would you think this has? I was researching and found nothing like it with the coins embedded. Does that make it rare? |
