Great Britain – Engraved Love Token
  • One British silver coin with the original reverse intentionally replaced by custom hand engraving
     
Love-token engraving was a recognized 19th-century practice, transforming circulating coins into personal commemorative objects. The engraving itself forms part of the bracelet’s historical narrative.
 
Australia – Silver 3 Pence

Including wartime-era Australian silver, representing the final years of circulating pre-decimal silver coinage.
 
Victorian Colonial Silver (Date Obscured)
  • One silver coin bearing Queen Victoria with the inscription “Victoria Empress”
     
  • Denomination beginning with the word “TWO”, with the date partially obscured by an old applied silver blob
     
Despite the obscured inscription, portraiture and remaining legend confirm this as an authentic late-19th to early-20th-century Victorian colonial issue.
