GENUINE PEERS HARDY BUFFALO NICKEL LADIES WATCH !
A rare and beautiful limited edition watch. Each watch is bespoke and absolutely unique, as the coins used are genuine . The watch comes with it’s own certificate of authentication which outlines the history of the Buffalo coin and that the coin used is an actual Nickel/Five cents coin which has been taken out of circulation, as well as a 12 month international guarantee!
Please Note: We sell several different coin watches, and have recently come across several similar coin watches on eBay and Amazon, that claim to be 'Collectors Items', 'Limited Edition', etc....please be careful when purchasing. These watches contain REPLICA coins, that would never have been used as legal tender. The coins are too clean, and lack detail, and some of the watches actually have the words 'replica coin' etched onto the back bezel. The sellers are not being clear that they are replica coins. The coins in our watches are absolute legal tender, 100% genuine coins, with certification.
The History of the Buffalo Nickel Coin 1913 ~ 1938
The Buffalo Nickel, also known as the Indian Head, or Five Cents coin, was officially released to circulation on March 4, 1913, and quickly gained positive comments for depicting truly American themes. Coins from the first bag to be released into circulation were given to President William Howard Taft and a group of 33 Indian chiefs during the groundbreaking for the National Memorial to the North American Indian located in Fort Wadsworth, New York.
Designed by artist James Earle Fraser, the Buffalo nickel features an Indian head profile on the obverse, or front, and the image of a buffalo on the reverse, or back of the coin. Instead of drawing from memory, Fraser used an assemblage of three chiefs, Iron Tail, Two Moons and Chief John Big Tree, who had previously posed for him. Similarly, the bison, Black Diamond, from Central Park Zoo was the model for the reverse. The coin took the United States from pre-World War I, through the Great Depression and to the beginning of World War II. Any coins found from circulation, are rare, and because of design flaws, most are hard to date without out destroying the integrity of the coin.

Please note, we cannot take photos of each individual watch being sold, therefore the watch you receive, although will be the same design and colour, may show some slight differences from watch to watch. Each coin dial, is a used coin, and has not been polished or plated (like some coin watch makers do). These coins have been left as collected, to ensure an authentic natural finish, so may exhibit slight variances in colour shades or marks, as well as natural variances in the genuine leather strap. Please bear this in mind when making your purchase.
