I've been recently looking at some of my counterstamped coins etc and discovered this oldie tucked in the back.

It's always intrigued me about the origin and who they were.


Georgian-Engraved-Coin--Love-Token
Georgian-Engraved-Coin--Love-Token
14 APR I F 1784
T N remnants of host coin @2o'c

Found at an early colonial site in Canada
Copper alloy 7.60g 27-28m diameter 2mm thick
Crudely made and possibly given at a engagement or wedding
It's the only one I have and haven't looked at these too closely before but it seems it was a thing to do way back in the day by the amount I see out there on auction sites etc

I think that is a wonderful token. A real treasure.

Thanks for sharing!
