ENGLAND. A finely produced necklace of electrotypes in silver of Greek coins. 19th Century England. Electroypes of twenty-three of the finest design and style ancient Greek coins made into a necklace. As made, high quality reproductions comparable to 19th century British Museum electrotypes.
(In recent years early electrotypes of Greek coins have become prized collectibles. Not long ago I sought to buy back a set of British Museum electros of Greek coins we had sold in the 90's. Another collector was interested at a level well into five figures but the owner preferred to keep them. AD)
