[Shan Hai Ji] Era of Silent Inscription - Half Mark Silver Coin Necklace

[Shan Hai Ji] Era of Silent Inscription - Half Mark Silver Coin Necklace • Coin Series • Using early common currencies from various countries as materials, coins are transformed into jewelry through processes like disassembly, forging, and twisting. The coin's motifs record information about culture, history, and craftsmanship. A small coin can introduce a nation, and by wearing jewelry daily, one can learn more about cultures. • Design Concept • Coins are not just a medium of exchange, but also carriers of national and cultural memory. This silver coin, inlaid at the center of the necklace, was born amidst the smoke of World War I, silently witnessing the rise and fall and fragmentation of an era. We envelop it with the structure of a metal skeleton, transforming it from a mere currency into a vessel carrying memory and time, silently narrating rebirth after decline and the slow sedimentation of history in life. . The silver coin is a 1915 Half Mark (1/2 Mark) silver coin issued by the German Empire, minted during World War I. The obverse features the imperial eagle with spread wings, symbolizing German royalty and the spirit of unity. A small shield emblem adorns the eagle's chest, crowned atop its head, exuding a solemn presence, encircled by oak branches symbolizing resilience and strength. The reverse displays the inscription "DEUTSCHES REICH" (German Empire) prominently at the top, indicating the denomination "1/2 MARK" in the center, enclosed by a lush wreath of oak leaves, with the minting year 1915 engraved at the bottom. This coin is made of 90% pure silver, weighs approximately 2.5 grams, and has a diameter of about 20 millimeters. It was primarily used for small daily transactions at the time. Due to its issuance during wartime and the dramatic changes in Germany's monetary system after the war, such pre-war silver coins have become valuable witnesses to modern European history. • Basic Information • Dimensions: 35x31x8mm (excluding bail) Materials: 925 Silver + 1915 German Empire Half Mark (1/2 Mark) Silver Coin • Contents • - Pendant/Necklace (optional purchase) - Silver polishing cloth - Thick jewelry transparent zip-lock bag • Jewelry Care • - If not wearing for an extended period, store in a sealed bag to slow down oxidation. - Minimize contact with other metals or hard objects to avoid scratches. - If the metal oxidizes or discolors, use a silver polishing cloth for maintenance. • Custom Sizing • Each piece from Shan Hai Ji is handcrafted and a unique creation.
