Not Exactly A Love Token, But A WW1 Experience Token On A Mexico 8 Reales 1836.

This was the most interesting item from the batch of love tokens I got.


Inscriptions of the coin as follows:
On the eagle side of the coin:
Chic. Smith
Harry Deslauriers
Ottawa Can 19 8 14

Lichtenhorst-16
Konigsmoor 16-17

On the other side:
Soltau-16
Giessen
Germany 1915

The four places in Germany are locations of POW camps from WW1

My limited searching has not located anyone in Ottawa with the names mentioned, although Chic. Smith is obviously a nickname of some sort.

One plausible scenario is that the two people mentioned enlisted in Ottawa on August 19, 1914, and that they spent time in the POW camps mentioned.
