Fiziksel açıklama
Pair of silver ornaments worn either as earrings or at the temple. They have heavy loops on top of an attenuated triangular back plate which is decorated with two silver discs ( the lower one being a coin) embellished with a green and red square cut glass stone mounted in a silver bezel respectively and set within a frame of beaded wire filled with vitreous green and orange enamel. The lower edge has four rings forged from a continuation of the back plate from which hang rings with pendant silver tabs that are soldered and pinned onto silver coins. One of the earrings has coins all dated 1321 (hijira calendar equivalent to 1903/1904 in the Christian calendar, while the other earring has coins dated variously 1321, 1315 (1897 Christian calendar), 1329 (1911 Christian calendar), and 1347 (1928), inscribed '5 FRANCS' on the obverse and 'EMPIRE CHERIFIEN' on the reverse .
