Metals:
Gold
Overall Condition: Good
Condition Notes: The Peruvian coins have been enameled for decorative effect, though only the bezels were accessible for testing. The metal streaks held for prolonged periods under 22k nitric acid, indicating high gold content, though XRF analysis could not yield accurate results due to the enamel overlay. Some enamel chipping is visible on a few coins. The chain and clasp both test as 14k gold.
