German 5 Mark “All American made”    Real German  5 Mark (U.S. ½ dollar size silver coin)   in extra fine  condition. First a small hole is drilled in the coin, then a very fine jewelers saw blade is inserted through the hole and worked  around the coins design, (by hand) cutting away the background.  Thus leaving the coins figure floating inside it’s outer edge (rim).  The figure is then selectively layered (by hand) in “Brilliant Gold & Silver”.  These coin cut outs are sealed against ware and tarnishing with clear Permalac a High-performance clear coat. Each work of art comes complete,  on 14K gold layered 24 in. rope chain and in a nice jewelry box. The gold on the coin is 24k gold, it is not paint.
