Coin Scavenger Valued Member Canada 444 Posts	Posted 08/22/2015 5:44 pm I will get it weighed but it will be awhile. The coin is roughly the size of an English penny. I never thought of the coin as being war time but that would explain the sad portrait. Thanks for the interest. Report this Post to the Staff
Cascade Pillar of the Community United States 7390 Posts	Posted 08/26/2015 1:13 pm Another thought is a "remembrance" type of love token for a child that died. In pre photography days some people would keep lockets of hair and the wealthy would make plaster "death" masks. If a parent or other family member was artistically inclined or was already adept at making love tokens they may have carved one to remember the child. That P°28 counterstamp throws me though Report this Post to the Staff
