Description:

Offered in this lot is a Victorian-era Love Token, a beautifully hand-engraved coin transformed into a personalized keepsake during the 19th century.

Love tokens were commonly created by smoothing one side of a circulating coin and engraving initials, monograms, or decorative designs as a symbol of affection, friendship, or remembrance. These pieces were often exchanged between loved ones, making each example unique and historically meaningful.

This example features an ornate engraved monogram beneath a crown motif, suggesting a British origin and adding to its charm and collectible appeal.
