Lucky Coin - Pyramid

$150.00 $170.00

The idea of a “lucky” coin comes up in cultures across the world and throughout history. Created with collected coins from around the world, a softly built up scratch finish and textured prongs give these charms a vintage feel and easy wearing vibe.

This 1964 Mexican 20 centavos coin has a gorgeous landscape featuring the Pyramid of the Sun in Teotihuacán, with the volcanoes Ixtaccihuatl and Popocatepetl in the background and various cacti in the foreground. Built circa 100 CE, the Pyramid of the Sun is one of the largest structures of its kind in the Western Hemisphere, and is a testament to the ingenuity of the early Mesoamerican civilisations. The back of the coin features the Mexican national emblem, with an eagle devouring a rattlesnake.

Pyramids symbolize principles of balance, stability, and growth, and can represent a connection between the physical and spiritual realms.

Dimensions: 3.3cm x 3.9cm x 0.7cm

Materials: Brass setting, brass coin.

Made by hand with 100% recycled metals in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.

This piece is on sale due to a small cosmetic imperfection (see last photo)!

Brass

Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc, and a lovely way to add a beautiful golden colour to your jewellery wardrobe at a much lower price point than gold. Due to its high copper content, brass will develop tarnish more quickly than other jewellery metals, but with a little care and attention to keep it clean (a polishing cloth is provided with every order!) it will look beautiful for a lifetime.

Coins

Coins are made of all different types of metal alloys, not all of which are up to the standards of traditional jewellery metals! Please take note of the material the coin is made of and consider any allergens or sensitivities, nickel in particular can react with sensitive skin. Consider the style of the setting as well—the settings that rest behind the coin prevent direct contact with the skin and are a great choice for sensitive skin, whereas the settings that go around the outside of the coin will have direct skin contact and may develop patina more quickly in contact with moisture on the skin.

There are lots of ways to find the perfect lucky coin for you: shop the website, contact me to see my current stash of available coins, or commission a custom piece with a sentimental coin of your own!
