What’s a Victorian love token?

They were sentimental gifts gifted from friends, significant others and family members as a token or remembrance while they were apart.

Typically silver coins, with one or both sides smoothed to make a surface for a hand engraved design.

Designs ranged from initials and dates to symbols and intricate images.

Popular in the 19th century, they evolved from a 13th century tradition of bending coins.
