This is quite wearible actually. I had one that had three rows of coins and was below my waste also was for a temple statue to wear. It had early coins from the early 19th c best piece I had.

This was actually two rows but felt like five. This was heavy.. but being it was really all there and coins of early date , it was the best coin necklace I have seen and one of the ones I am sorry I sold.
