Rare British East African 50 Cent Half Shilling Coin & Red Leather Earring
A striking piece from SuhaniMara’s Coined in Time collection, pairing a rare vintage East African 50 cent (Half Shilling) coin with hand-worked red leather.
These distinctive stud earrings are created from old 50 Cent coins, also known as Half-Shilling coins, featuring the lion with Mount Kenya rising in the background, an evocative image of Kenya’s landscape and heritage. Red leather for the love of Africa.
Once part of everyday currency, the old coin is given a new life as a bold, sculptural ring. Its aged surface and natural patina preserve traces of its history, while the vibrant handmade leather brings a contemporary African character.
It is heritage made wearable; a reminder that objects can travel through time and still belong to the present.
