[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 5060503, member: 2844"]My guess is later. Maria Theresia coins are used to this day, but imo this is an antique belt. It is beautiful. Will you be able to see it in person and check if it has any silvermarks? Whether there is a Gypsy connection, I don't know. Our Romani, both Roma and Sinti, prefer gold, for investment. I once saw a Sinto with a gold coin belt, made of several rows of gold coins attached to an enormous leather belt. It was very impressive.[/QUOTE]
