The chain is 180cm long, looped around a Dutch 1928 Wilhelmina solid silver 1 Gulden coin. The doubled up chain becomes a 90cm belt (35"), the coin is used as a weight to secure the belt on the waist.
One end of the chain has a loop, of about 13 1/2" long, which can be decoupled from a fastener. I do not kno...w what its function is.
The chain tested for silver. Sterling grade.
