Watch List notes:

Peruvian silver crucifix with half-real coins (one Lima pillar 1765JM and one Potosi bust 1821PJ), hanging from ends, late Spanish colonial (early 1800s), with Sacred Heart symbol at bottom. 66.77 grams, 5-1/4" x 3-3/4". Very rustic but highly adorned with symbolism, made from a single flat piece of solid silver with applied Jesus figure showing native features and oversized extremities, nicely toned all over, the two coins (VG-F) dating the piece, but most important feature (for this auction, at least) is the Sacred Heart symbol at bottom (see article about Potosi Hearts in this auction), within which is a skull (representing Golgotha) above a void in the shape of a more traditional (Valentine-style) heart.

Estimate: $500
