A chap he worked with took a liking to it and made my hubby an offer he couldn't refuse. I also have a Canberra florin cut out the same as the one in the link, plus another version. I'll put up piccies tomorrow, Gotta get some zzzz's.  life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved

I showed this to my grandfather when he was over yesterday and he was intrigued by how skilled you would need to be to cut it so fine. I suppose they would use similar tools to cut gemstones?

This would be the one and only time I would advise dipping and polishing a coin. The pendant is by far the better looking one  |

Scratches visible from across the room are not "light". |

The only thing I can say about this horror is the rim looks OK. I have some worn from circulation P&H florins that I only keep because I love the design on these But even they are eminently more collectible that this poor abused specimen  |

That one would make a good keyring I reckon. Bit much at $49 though  |

Some people have far too much idle time on their hands  I wish they would take up gardening or something instead of wreaking coins  |
