Coin jewelry gained popularity in the mid-20th century as travelers collected and repurposed coins into wearable accessories. Bracelets like this were often assembled using real currency, creating unique, global-themed statement pieces. The presence of British Empire coins suggests a connection to colonial-era souvenirs, commonly sold in European and Middle Eastern markets. The German mark indicates it may have been produced for export or as a tourist piece. Mixed-metal charm bracelets with authentic coins were fashionable among collectors and those wanting jewelry with historical significance.
