<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dctjr80, post: 655607, member: 15915&quot;]I stopped in an antique shop and picked up a hand full of foreign coins for a $1. I noticed this Australian 1 Florin 1944 that had been engraved turning it into a love token, but didn&#039;t give much thought to it until walking home and reading the inscription, &quot; To Marion / with love / from Bill / New Guinea / 1944 &quot; pin punched in very detailed cursive on what was the obverse of the coin. I came to realize this was a WWII Rare Find. My guess is that a U.S. Soldier, stationed in New Guinea made this token and sent it to his sweet heart. I later researched that my guess was correct and that alot of fighting took place at New Guinea between the U.S. and Australian Alies Vs. The Japanese, there were thousands of casaulties on both sides in this hot spot of the war. This Love Token/ Silver Florin was an Awesome find for a $1 USD.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
