Description :
This antique coin purse features an intricately embossed metal frame marked "G. Silver" (German Silver – a non-precious alloy of nickel, copper, and zinc). The front side is adorned with thousands of tiny metallic seed beads stitched in a circular pattern, while the back is made of aged velvet. A hinged clasp opens to a satin-lined interior with a small pocket. The chain handle connects to an ornate repoussé medallion, adding extra charm. While the beading shows some fraying, the piece remains structurally sound and is a fine example of early 20th-century craftsmanship.
