Engraved Coins

These beautiful pieces of personal history turn up every now and then; I pop them into a tin and sell them as a job lot to collectors who are keen to cherish such things. The top two are on a Victorian threepence & sixpence respectively; the bottom on a halfpenny - I think it’s from the W W I era and possibly a Suffolk church scene. I love the left hand one, an etched Kruger South Africa shilling. The final piece is another W W I example dated 1914 on a Belgian silver franc.
