Attached to the chain are a boar tusk and two silver coins: A “Vereinsthaler der Freien Stadt Frankfurt” (minted in the free city of Frankfurt) and a 1/2- or 1/4 “Kronentaler” issued by the Emperor Joseph II of the Holy Roman Empire with the inscription “IOSEPH.II.D.G.R.I.S.A.GER.HIE.HVN.BOH.REX.” (Joseph II – by the Grace of God – Roman Emperor – Augustus – King of Germany, Jerusalem, Hungary and Bohemia). The female depicted on the Vereinsthaler is thought to be Anna of Nordheim, allegedly a lover of Baron Rothchild.
