Lot 083: Fossil watch, Australian & International coins

Description

A small collection of a Fossil Blue men's chronograph watch alongside an assortment of international coinage and decorative seashells, presented together as a single lot. Key Details: * Origin/Era: Mixed, primarily late 20th to early 21st century for the watch and some modern coins, with older pre-decimal coins dating back to the early 20th century. * Material: Stainless steel for the watch; various metals for coins (silver, copper, bronze, nickel alloys); natural seashells. * Components: Fossil Blue BQ-9333 chronograph watch; Australian pre-decimal coins (Threepence, Penny, Halfpenny, Sixpence); United States coins (quarters, dimes, pennies, nickels); Euro coins; United Arab Emirates coins; a 1957 Singapore coin; a 1972 Canadian cent; and two decorative seashells. Condition: The Fossil watch exhibits surface scratches and wear consistent with regular use on its case and bracelet. Many of the older coins are heavily circulated, showing significant wear to their details, and some display verdigris or other forms of corrosion. The modern international coins generally show standard circulation wear. The seashells are intact. Interesting fact: * Fossil, founded in 1984, was one of the first watch brands to combine fashion-forward design with accessible pricing, playing a significant role in popularizing watches as a fashion accessory in the late 20th century. * Early 20th-century Australian Threepence coins, such as those included, often featured the Australian Coat of Arms on the reverse, undergoing design changes over the years reflecting changes in monarchy and national symbols. Use: This lot is ideal for collectors interested in starting or expanding a varied collection of coins from different nations, along with a classic fashion timepiece.
