Really lovely find Lynn. I can't really see the little floral pattern that you have at the back (from which the coins hang), but it looks very similar to a motif used in Palestinian jewelry. Here is that floral pattern (11 or 12 petals) with variations used in two iznaq:
Dear Nada, thank you so much for your comment. Yes, I think you are right that the floral motif looks very similar to the one used in iznaq. By the way, the two you post below are gorgeous!!! Do you have larger photos?
Thank you Lynn and sorry for the late reply. These two details I recorded from a couple of iznaqs that I don't own in a dealer's shop, but I'm fascinated by the symbols and so I photographed the floral medallions for my reference.
