A HEAVY GILT SILVER BANGLE with three enameled coins, a florin (helpfully inscribed "one tenth of a pound" for those of us not versed in the value of antique British coins) and two shillings. The shillings feature the motto of the British Chivalric Order of the Garter, "Honi Soit Qui Mal y Pense" which translates to "Shame on him who thinks evil of it." The reverse side of the coins hold the visage of Queen Victoria, the dates of the shillings are two worn to make out, however, the florin was minted in the year 1871. A numismatic delight.
