This listing is for the photographed Vintage 1920 Mercury Dime Watch - 8 Inches. Amazing watch featuring a 1920 Mercury dime as the face with a leather strap. Watch has been fixed and changed to EST. Designed by Adolph Weinman and also referred to as the Winged Liberty Head dime, it gained its common name because the obverse depiction of a young Liberty, identifiable by her winged Phrygian cap, was confused with the Roman god Mercury. Weinman is believed to have used Elsie Stevens, the wife of lawyer and poet Wallace Stevens, as a model. The coin's reverse depicts a fasces, symbolizing unity and strength, and an olive branch, signifying peace. Amazing coin watch to celebrate your love for coins and watches!
