5 Mils (The Holed Coin): The hole was a practical design feature used to distinguish lower-value bronze/cupro-nickel coins from silver ones by touch.
Historical Accuracy: The coins feature the trilingual name "Palestine" and the symbolic olive branch—a traditional symbol of peace and the Palestinian land.
Vintage Finish: The coins have an "antiqued" oxidation to give them a vintage look and highlight the raised lettering.
Accents: Paired with vibrant beads in various colours.
This item is directly sourced from the Old City of Jerusalem - Palestine, ensuring your purchase supports local craftsmanship.
Keep Dry: Remove earrings before swimming, showering, or exercising to protect the antiqued finish.
Apply Products First: Let perfumes and lotions dry completely before wearing your jewelry.
Cleaning: Gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use chemical cleaners, as they will remove the dark "antique" detailing.
Storage: Store in a dry place or an airtight bag to prevent natural tarnishing.
