✅ SOLVED Anyone know the coin of this love token?

[paulb104]

The artist who made this was beyond talented. I've seen many love tokens over the years but this could be one of the best I've ever seen in person or online.

It's about an 1.25 inches across, 31mm, about the size a US half dollar.

The coin's identification was removed. Does anyone know from where it hails?

a google image search of 'st george and the dragon enameled coin' brings up several nearly identical pieces but most have different dates. I would assume the date would be when it was made or presented to someone, since the tale of George slaying the dragon goes back to the 11th century. It's a very cool piece.

Well son of a ... gun. We always assumed that this was a love token!

It had never, ever, ever, occurred to us that this was an actual coin!

When you said to search for that, and we saw that there were many of them, I knew something was amiss.

I'm honestly disappointed! I think love tokens are a lost art.

The artist did have a little fun with Victoria's face and hair, similar to a potty dollar or a hobo nickel, so I guess there's still some skill that went into it there...

You guys know potty dollars and hobo nickels, yes?
