Found this at an old farm, the back was nowhere to be found. Was 6 inches deep in the ground. Looks like it could have been designed for a woman maybe? There's no date or company on it to suggest its age. It's a really cool piece and I would love to know the age or history of it. If anyone can help it would be much appreciated! Thanks.

Jangrock,

One of the top makers of women's coin holders is W.H.S.Co., here are a few examples that are close to that pattern.

Yeppers, it's a ladies coin change holder. The pattern looks Victorian and the shape Art Nouveau, so basically around the turn of the century. Super neat find :) Breezie

Too bad someone didn't leave some change in that for you.
