{"product_id":"georgian-pinchbeck-chain-w-gaming-tokens","title":"Georgian Pinchbeck Chain w\/ Gaming Tokens","description":"\u003cp\u003e9 faux coins are mounted on a Georgian-looking pinchbeck chain measuring 9\" long in total, with a late 19th\/early 20th c. clasp. Was this to be worn like a decorative watch chain? The coins have on the front George's head and \"GEORGIVS III DEL GRATIA\" and on the back, his crest (a spade-shaped shield) crowned, and the words \"IN MEMORY OF THE GOOD OLD DAYS 1788\". The coins are 3\/4\" dia. and were known as \"Spade Guineas\". They were produced as gaming counters and novelty pocket pieces during the 19th century to commemorate a bygone era of wealth, high-stakes gambling, and nostalgia. Genuine gold guineas were largely replaced by the gold sovereign in 1817, turning the Spade Guinea into a symbol of a fabled, \"better\" past. Want me to turn these into a 7\" (or any length you desire) bracelet? I can do that for you. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eItem will ship via UPS, insured and with signature required for delivery.
