These silver watch keys were originally worn for a practical reason: to wind a pocket watch or a small clock. Today, they make lovely and interesting pendants.
This set consists of two keys: one depicting an Austro-Hungarian 30 Kreuzer showing Holy Roman Empress Maria Theresa on one side, and the Habsburg emblem on the other. The other depicts an Austro-Hungarian 3 Kreuzer, showing Holy Roman Emperor Joseph I on one side, and the Madonna on the other.
