What's the backstory? Never seen anything like that before. Very cool stuff

GW engraved over 1747 penny and urn engraved on the reverse appears dug but not by me. Thought Crusader might enjoy an urn with GW. Very late 18th century or 1800 circa relic.
Regards.

Very interested in any hand incised coins.
Although there was not such a coin in 1747, so I guess you meant to say 1747 Half-Penny.
The Urn type is very similar to late 18th C Cuff-links that I've seen.
At first I wasn't sure it was a 'G' at the start but with a closer look I think your right, cool find & a real one-off.
