Gold-coloured pin with tapering straight shaft and circular finial. A dark blue circular stone or glass(?) piece has been claw-set in the middle of the finial.

There are eight circular holes in the finial encircling the blue stone that have been positioned between the protruding arms. On the back side of the finial, the top of the pin shaft has been flattened and shaped to form a closed loop.
A straight pin with a Peruvian coin finial. The shaft on the pin is gold-coloured with a protrusion on one side and a hole in the centre of it at the shaft neck. The coin finial is bronze.

Some words can still be made out on the reverse: "serva Del Peru - 1964 - EL BANCO CENTR...PAGAR...RTADOR, UN SOL DE ORO".
