[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 7808131, member: 10461"]John Topliff Died 9th December 1819, aged 55 E. Nicholson Died 20th January 1831, aged 30 Host coin appears to be Danish, though the deceased have apparently English names. That’s not necessarily unusual, though, as a variety of different pieces got used as hosts for love tokens- or, in this case, an apparent [I]mourning[/I] token- sometimes in contexts far removed from the host coin’s origin. Interesting piece, in that it contains the names of [I]two[/I] decedents who died in different years. Worthy of research.[/QUOTE]
