    I inherited this piece of jewellery, I don't know what it is. It's a silver-coloured link chain with 5 silver-coloured coins attatched. (though I dn't know what type of metal it actually is). On one side the coins have some kind of crest, and around the edge it says "ARCHID - AVST - DUX - BURG - CO - TYR - 1780 - X"

    On the other side, two of the coins have a picture of a woman's head and shoulders and around the edge the following writing "RIMP - HV - BO - REG M- THERESIA - D-G -

    The other 3 coins have a man's head on the other side and around the edge they say "FRANCISVS - IOS - I-D-G- IMP - AVST - REX - BOH ETC - ET - REX - APOST - HVVG


    Does anyone know what it is?
