French 1 Centime Coin Charm Pendant
This item is a numismatic charm pendant featuring a copper-colored French 1 centime coin (épi type) mounted within a polished gold-tone metal frame. The coin is circular and displays a large numeral '1' in the center, flanked by wheat ears, with the word 'CENTIME' curved along the bottom edge. The bezel mounting is a smooth, circular frame made of a reflective yellow metal, likely gold-plated or high-polish brass, which includes an integrated small bail or loop at the top for suspension on a chain. The coin shows visible signs of age and circulation; specifically, there is significant green oxidation or verdigris at the bottom center near the mint marks, and several dark spots indicative of surface corrosion or toning. The bezel appears to be in relatively good condition with minor surface scratches. Based on the 1 centime design, the coin likely dates from the 1960s to the late 1990s, during the Fifth Republic period before the adoption of the Euro. The craftsmanship is of a commercial decorative grade, commonly seen in travel souvenirs or vintage fashion jewelry from the mid-to-late 20th century.
