Wilhelmina Coin Pendant

Cast from an original 1914 Netherlands five-cent coin and reimagined in solid 14 karat gold, this pendant carries more than a century of history into the present day. The original coin—issued during the reign of Queen Wilhelmina—was part of a distinctive series of early Dutch currency recognized for its unusual square form with softened corners, a design created to distinguish it from other coins in circulation at the time. Produced on the eve of World War I, the coin carries with it the subtle weight of time—something once held in everyday life, now transformed into an object of permanence and adornment.
