Description

Below info from online search. 
Micro-beaded: This refers to the very tiny glass or steel beads often used in Victorian-era handbags to create intricate mosaic-like patterns.
Coin purse: This was the function of many such small, framed pouches, as they were designed to carry small items like money and calling cards.
Victorian relief clasp: While not a formal name, this accurately describes the top of the purse. Many antique purses feature ornate, die-stamped metal frames with detailed, raised designs like cherubs, florals, or other motifs popular in the Victorian and Art Nouveau periods. The pewter-type material was often a non-magnetic base metal.
