Waziri Coin with Green Stone - Tribal Pendant

The base is an authentic Pakistani coin with legible Urdu calligraphy and a classic floral wreath surrounding the denomination. The relief is worn in places, indicating actual circulation before being transformed into jewelry. The coin's edge retains a distinct serration, and the surface shows natural patina and discoloration.

The upper part has been hand-enhanced with a distinctive element with double, spherical ends. Centrally set is an intense green stone – round or slightly oval in shape, with distinct faceting that reflects light in points. Beneath it are three smaller, circular inserts: two red and one green. The colors are saturated, contrasting, and typical of the aesthetics of the Pakistan-Afghanistan border region.

The setting has a raw, artisanal character. Traces of soldering, surface irregularities, and localized tarnish at the joints are visible. This is not jewelry production in the European sense, but a local adaptation of a coin into a decorative element – ​​utilitarian and robust.

Pendants of this type were used as elements of necklaces, tribal belts, and heavy adornments on women's tribal costumes. The term "Waziri" refers to the traditions of the Waziri tribe inhabiting Waziristan. The price is for one piece from the lot – each piece differs in the details of the relief and the shade of the stones.
