This listing is for the photographed Continental Silver Perkeo of Heidelberg Figurine Charm. Cute small continental silver charm depicting Perkeo of Heidelberg, often called the Kings Toast Charm. Stamped on the bottom of the charm is "800".  Perkeo of Heidelberg, otherwise known as Giovanni Clementi, was a dwarf and court jester of Elector Palatine Charles III Philip of Heidelberg, becoming the unofficial mascot of the city. He was known for his drinking habits, his renown quote "perche no" meaning "why not?" in Italian when asked if he wanted another drink, despite his smaller stature, would become his own name of Perkeo.
