A Late 18th Century or Early 19th Century Coin Purse, designed as a small grey mesh sack with larger loops at the top to hold the draw chain, this being fitted with small open bobbles resembling cages. Together with Three 19th Century Coin Purses, the largest fitted with a chatelaine hook designed as an iris, attached to the handle chain. The purse is formed with a taupe suede/leather, tan inside, fitted snugly into a shaped metal frame, embossed both sides with flowers.

Each end has a slender metal opening frame, one in gold one in silver. Finally, a delicate black net purse with gold metal frame, classically embossed, embroidered with silver and gold cut steel beads in the same design but different colours back and front. Finished with a shaped gold metal tassel in bell flower form, to each bottom corner (4). First purse, a few of the larger loops holding the chair along the draw section. The second purse bag fabric is drab but appears unworn. The final bag has slight damage to the net just under the centre front of the frame.

The first example is finished, and as well as alphabet and numbers, the embroidery included floral sprays to each of the top corners, and very fine central detail that includes the initials ''AM'' surrounded by bell shaped flowers. The bottom two corners feature eyelet work, to the left with a heart, to the right with flowers and leaves. Approx. 12 inches or 30.5cm.
