1940s Mexican coin Silver bracelet Vintage jewelry Coin jewelry Five Centavos 7 1/2" Birthday gift for her

1940s Silver Mexican Centavo coin bracelet. In 1943 the Mexico City Mint would replace its circulating silver 20 centavos coin with a larger bronze issue with a new design featuring the Pyramid of the Sun. This coin, dated 1944, is the charm or 'tag' of the bracelet.
The bracelet is composed of 15 Five Centavos with dates mostly 1943 and 1944. There are a couple 1945 and one 1946 Mexican centavos.
The bracelet is 7.5 inches long.

In the 1940's the Mexico City Mint began portraying historical figures on circulating coins. One of the first portraits was that of a female heroine from the Mexican Revolution, Josefa Ortiz de Domínguez. The reverse design features a bust portrait of Josefa Domínguez. “CINCO CENTAVOS” is displayed on the periphery as is the year of issue. All coins were minted at the Mexico City Mint and display a “Mo” mint mark.
The other side features the Mexican coat of arms, an eagle clutching a snake while it perches on a prickly pear cactus. On the outer periphery is the phrase “ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS” or “United Mexican States”
All of these coins are of the Type 1 – 1942 to 1946, with bust facing left.
