Item Description
This unique piece was curated and handcrafted in Hollywood by Millennium
General Assembly, purveyors of jewelry fabricated from fugitive bits of bygone
finery.
From the early 1800s to the early 1900s, tokens made from coins were given
to loved ones by suitors, friends and family. One side (sometimes both sides) of
the coin were smoothed down and engraved with initials, names, phrases and/
or scenes. The Seated Liberty dime from the 1850s–1880s was frequently used,
but tokens are known on all U.S. denominations, as well as on many world coin
denominations.
On an 18-inch (45.7 cm) sterling chain from Italy, this love token, BF, is created from
an 1887 Silver Seated Liberty dime.

--1887 Silver Seated Liberty dime love token
