This is Oma's brooch which was made out of a Dutch coin from 1939. Actually judging by the shape, I think that this may have been made out of more than one coin. Apparently making jewellery from coins is not condoned, but Dad says that they aren't uncommon. Mum and Dad brought this back for me in late 2009, after Oma's funeral. I have not worn it myself because I don't trust the catch on it, but it is such an interesting little piece.
