Auction Item Description
--------------------------------------------------------------
This lot of Authentic COINS for decorating your Belly Dance COSTUME or jewelry, include Pakistani, Indian, Afghani, and Turkish Coins, each with an attached (welded or soldered) loop, so you can attach it to your clothing, or make jewelry from them. All of them also have stone of sorts welded/melted to it. Each one varies in size shape and color. Most of the mixed lot are the size of a US Quarter size or bigger, and a few that are smaller, the size of a penny or dime. However, every once in a while there is a large coin, the size of a half dollar.
This lot is for Quantity 200 - MIXED
We have Mixed Lots (for a lower price) and Lots that are all Scalloped, all Round, all Square, all Small (nearly all of these will be Silvertone) and lots that are all Brasstone . . . see our other auctions for these lots in quantity 50, 100, and 200 and more ...
Looking through the lot, it appears that many are from the 1960's and 1970's (20-40 years old), but I did see some from the early 1950's and a few from 1948 and 1949 (over 50 years old). There are some that are newer, from the 80's and 90's. Many have a scalloped edge, quite a few are round, and there are some square ones too. The square ones seem to have been worn down the most, and many of those are unreadable.....well, since I do not speak any of these languages, they are all unreadable to me ::chuckle::, but I think you know what I mean.
The Kuchi are a tribe of Sunni Muslim Nomads living in central asia, in southeastern Afghanistan to the border of Pakistan. While the Kuchi are of the Pashtun tribe of Afghanistan, they are nomadic, accustomed to moving annually with their herds between summer pastures in Afghanistan and winter pastures in Pakistan. "Kuchi" is a Baluchistan word meaning "nomadic" or "wandering".
