Keris Jewlery/Coin

Nagawarrior · 29th October 2006, 12:26 PM

My wife bought this pendant for me as a gift a while back. She was visiting Knott's Berry Farm, a local amusement park. A man has a booth where he uses coins to make jewlery. This one caught her eye knowing my collecting interest. Perhaps someone knows what country this coin comes from.

It's tourist type malaysian keris, made into a pendant. Quite nice. A thoughtful gift.

Speaking of keris jewelry here is a tiny keris pin in silver with a horn hilt.

I've always loved this kind of stuff and have almost bought a few. I really like yours Nagawarrior and i would assume it is an Indonesian coin. I have seen a number with keris on them, though not this design.

I think Shahrial is correct that it probably is from Malaysia. I have seen several small silver, or shiny metal, Keris coins, pins, letter openers etc. from there.
