1946 Australian Shilling Necklace

🤎Features & What You'll Love

• Genuine 1946 Australian shilling
→ That fabulous Merino ram is front and centre and I think these old shillings were far too good looking to disappear into a drawer.

• Mixed Meals
→ The silver colour of the old coin against the antique-toned surround gives it a completely different look.

• Decorative Zamak alloy setting
→ Scalloped edges, little beaded details and tiny flowers around the outside. 

• Nearly 80 years of history
→ This coin has been around since 1946. Imagine the pockets, purses and hands it may have passed through before landing on my workbench.

• 65cm stainless steel snake chain
→ A great everyday length.

🤎The Molly Made Story

This shilling was actually being passed from hand to hand while Australia was finding its feet after WWII. Someone may have used it for groceries, tucked it into a purse, dropped it into a pocket or saved it for something special.

We'll never know.What I do know is has not been forgotten.

Almost 80 years after it was minted, it's off to do something completely different.

Old coin. New chapter. Wearable history.

Not Mass Made. Made to Matter.
