Old East African 10 cent copper Coin silver plated Bookmark

Where history meets the written word.

An old 1942 East African 10 cent copper coin, preserved and silver plated, is reimagined as a distinctive bookmark connecting the stories held within books with the history carried by old currency.

Once passed from hand to hand in everyday life, the coin bears a date and details from another era. Now, instead of marking a moment in East Africa’s monetary history, it marks your place in a story.

Part of SuhaniMara’s Coined in Time collection, this piece gives an old object a new purpose,  a small keepsake for readers, collectors and those who believe that every date has a history, and every book has a story.
