Wearable Coin Art — Morgan Dollar-Inspired Pendants Rooted in Coin Carving Tradition
The Morgan Dollar, minted from 1878 to 1904 and again in 1921, became an enduring symbol of American history. Coin artists later transformed familiar currency into something more personal—reworking portraits, inscriptions, and national symbols into miniature pieces of art.
The Coin as Symbol
VEILHINGE draws visual and craft inspiration from coin carving traditions, working with modern silver-plated copper replica coin bases reimagined with skulls, mythological figures, memento mori, and darker symbolic forms. Each design begins with a hand-carved master, then is reproduced through lost-wax casting and individually hand-polished. Openwork designs are cut by hand. The result is a wearable coin art piece with its own meaning.
What You'll Find Here
Explore modern Morgan Dollar-inspired coin pendants featuring skulls, mythological figures, memento mori, and dark Americana imagery. Each replica coin is held in an open four-prong frame that preserves its inscriptions, dates, and reverse design without drilling.
How to Wear It
Wear a coin pendant alone as a statement piece, or layer it with a simpler chain for a dark Americana or biker-inspired look. Explore more necklaces or pair it with pieces from Skull Sanctuary.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these made from real Morgan Dollar coins?
No. These are modern silver-plated copper replica coin bases inspired by the Morgan Dollar design, transformed through hand cutting and finishing. They are coin art — not historical currency. The inscriptions, dates, and borders are part of the design language, not proof of authenticity.
Are the pendants hand-cut?
Openwork coin designs are cut by hand. Relief designs begin with a hand-carved master, then are reproduced through lost-wax casting and individually hand-polished.
Can the coin be removed from the pendant setting?
Yes. The coin is held in a four-prong setting and can be removed when necessary. However, the setting is not designed for frequent opening or coin changes. Metal can weaken, deform, or break when repeatedly bent, and unsuitable tools may scratch the finish. Remove the coin only when there is a genuine need.
What is Morgan Dollar coin carving art?
Coin carving is a folk art tradition where artists transform coin faces into new images using hand tools. The Morgan Dollar — minted from 1878 to 1904 and again in 1921 — has long been a favored canvas for this art form due to its large size and detailed relief. VEILHINGE coin art draws visual and craft inspiration from this tradition, using modern replica coin bases as the starting point.
What does the skull replace on the coin?
The original portrait. The inscription, date, and border remain — the face is reimagined as a skull or symbolic figure, creating a tension between the language of official currency and the imagery of mortality or personal meaning.
Can I wear this every day?
Yes, with proper care. Avoid prolonged exposure to water, sweat, chemicals, and friction. We recommend wearing the pendant over clothing whenever possible to help preserve its finish.
What does "E Pluribus Unum" mean on the pendant?
E Pluribus Unum is commonly translated as “Out of many, one.” On the original Morgan Dollar, it represented national unity. On Morgan Dollar-inspired coin art, the phrase remains part of the original visual language while allowing each wearer to form a personal connection with the design.
