  I recently got a collection of love tokens. In addition to the common ones with initials, this one is impressively different, with the Lord's prayer inscribed on a UK 4 pence dated 1844. Each letter is a bit less than 1 millimeter. You would need a steady hand and a bit of patience. I'll be posting a few more interesting ones from the collection in the coming weeks.

Pretty cool! If we ever have a contest to see who has the coin/token with the most letters, yours could be the winner.

That is amazing, considering how tiny a Victorian groat is!

I've seen quite a few medalets from the Victorian era - tiny little medals - with the Lord's Prayer stamped on them. Very often these medals were produced at one of the great International Exhibitions. It seems to have been a demonstration of modern technology - a "wow, look how tiny we can make writing" kind of thing. But I can't say I've seen it engraved (or perhaps stamped?) onto a coin before.
