Silver "Petrus" Armchair Ashtray with Linked Coins

Armchair Ashtray with Embedded and Linked Silver Coins, Choice Extremely Fine.
This silver ashtray is 3.5" in diameter, with stamped floral designs and a large, embedded 2000 Reis "Petrus" silver coin (1889) at its center. Linked to each side of the tray are a total of eight silver coins: 2000 Reis Petrus (1889), "1000 Reis" coin (1889), and two smaller denomination Petrus coins (500 and 200 Reis, 1859). The cigarette holder on the rim of the curved ashtray is a bent 200 Reis Petrus, and the silver and gray patina on all surfaces is quite nice. A very interesting memento for the coin collector!
