Description
The coins reproduced for these earrings are taken from an original Edward III quarter-noble, a gold coin struck shortly after 1344. During Medieval times coins were made by hand using an iron punch called a die. Two dies were needed for each coin, one showing the 'heads side' and one showing the 'tails'. A piece of silver or gold was placed between the dies and a sharp hammer blow to these would create a coin.
The reproduction Edward III quarter noble coins are mode from 22ct gold plated lead-free pewter. They are supplied on 22ct gold plated hypoallergenic ear wires, which require pierced ears. The information card is full color on the front and has historical information on the reverse.
