1921 Indian Skeleton Skull - U.S. Morgan Dollar Coin Necklace

FREE SHIPPING – Limited Time Only!

The 1921 Indian Skeleton Skull Coin Necklace brings a striking skull-and-feather-headdress design to a Morgan dollar-inspired pendant. Its appeal lies in contrast: the intricate sweep of the feathers against the stark outline of the skull, and the presence of a coin-shaped object worn close to the heart.

Inspired by the art of altered coins

Hobo nickels belong to a tradition of creatively modifying coins, turning familiar currency into miniature works of art. Although the name refers to nickels, the approach extends to other coin denominations. Its portability and modest cost made the practice particularly associated with itinerant makers; the U.S. nickel was favored for its thickness and relative softness. Artistic coin alteration reaches back to the eighteenth century or earlier.

This Morgan dollar-inspired design draws on that spirit of transformation: an everyday form given a different identity and a new purpose as jewelry. Wear it as a focal point over a plain shirt, or let its meaning remain something personal.

Please note: The coin is a copy, not an original U.S.-minted coin. The 1921 date is part of the design and does not establish the age of the pendant.
