First, welcome!

I don't know about your pendant however I doubt it's 1833 as they suggest as she would just have been a small child in that year. I don't know anything about coins of the time but it has no year so I'd think it isn't a coin though others may know better.

What I did see and wonder about are some letters that appear to be added on the back FETICH or something like that. Don't know what that means.

Anyway, this seller (is it you maybe?)has listed it at least twice before for $499 without selling so $2000-2500 seems high.

 

This information isn't recent but you should find it helpful. Coin minted in 1861. According to link, value depends on where minted. Barcelona worth more.

That coin is different than the pendant.

 

This is what I'm wondering if it gives some info.

 

You're right. I assumed it was a coin that had been "framed" to hang on a charm bracelet. Apologies for misinformation.

It wasn't until I flipped the photo to look for date that I realized it was a reverse image.

 

Here's something similar. Described as "miniature." Gold. On offer for 35 euros.

That looks like it! (whatever it is)

 

The surround of the coin pendant is not antique. It is mid 20th century til now in date.

 

Dunno size but certainly looks like the kind of piece that one would see on a charm bracelet in the 1960s.

Fetich | Define Fetich at Dictionary.com
www.dictionary.com/browse/fetich
fetish definition. An object believed to carry a magical or spiritual force. Some so-called primitive tribes practice cult worship of fetishes. (See animism and totemism.) Note: Figuratively, a “fetish” is any object that arouses excessive devotion: “Lucille made a fetish of her Porsche.”

But WHY would someone ADD that to a gold coin.....wouldn't that destroy the value????? Or would it have been added so as not to deceive????

 

The Spanish word fetiche, with an e at the end, means fetish, but is also used for good luck charms. The pictures are so bad, I can't see if it says fetich or fetiche.

 

What we would call "facsimile" in English.
