Rare Half-Shilling East Africa Coin Earring studs

Rare vintage East African 50 Cent / Half-Shilling coin stud earrings.

A small piece of East African history, preserved to be worn and remembered.

Created from increasingly hard to source 50 Cent, or Half-Shilling coins, these distinctive studs feature the lion with iconic Mount Kenya in the background, an enduring image of Kenya and its heritage.

Part of SuhaniMara’s Coined in Time Collection, these pieces are about more than transforming old currency into jewellery. They are a way of keeping history alive. Coins once passed through countless hands and generations; by turning them into jewellery, their stories can continue worn today, treasured tomorrow, and one day passed from one generation to the next.

The natural age, markings and patina of each original coin are deliberately preserved, making every pair a little different and part of a much larger story.

Coined in Time  because history should not be forgotten. It should be preserved, worn and passed on.
