If so, it could mean anything or nothing. Weight and diameter might help to identify the host coin. Report this Post to the Staff

norantyki Valued Member 404 Posts	Posted 04/03/2020 09:39 am Heya! This is a love token - likely on a copper 1/2 penny of either Charles II or one of the early Georges. Although small silver change became the preferred canvas for such productions, I've handled quite a few early 18th century examples on coppers. Report this Post to the Staff
