This trench art brooch, crafted from an Argentine peso coin, captures the essence of freedom and resistance. At the centre of the brooch is the profile of Marianne, the personification of liberty and the republic, who has been used as a symbol of emancipation and struggle. Marianne, wearing her signature Phrygian cap topped with a star, is surrounded by a crescent moon, creating a powerful image that has been appreciated in times of peace and conflict alike.
Trench art is a form of folk art that flourished during times of war, when soldiers turned everyday objects into meaningful, personal pieces. This brooch is a prime example of that tradition, repurposing an old coin to create a wearable piece of art that conveys a message of hope and freedom. The reverse of the coin still displays engraved details, adding authenticity and a tangible connection to the past.
Ideal for collectors of trench art, jewellery with history or those who appreciate symbols of freedom, this brooch is a unique piece that combines history, art and symbolism in a single accessory. It is perfect as a gift or as a curious element in a collection of different jewellery.
