For sale is a fascinating piece of history: an authentic British India 1 Rupee silver coin from 1919 (reign of King George V) that has been skillfully converted into an antique shank button or cufflink accessory.

During the British Raj era, converting high-purity silver coins into luxury clothing buttons or jewelry fasteners was a popular tradition for military liveries and formal traditional attire (such as Sherwanis). Material: most likely Silver (0.917 Fineness).
