Only joking of course

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?
