[QUOTE="wlwhittier, post: 3515793, member: 18320"]~23.9mm diameter, ~8.9mm thick; 15.7grams The soldier is better focused than my pic shows; the clear 'lens' looks to have been poured...that is, I believe the material fills the cavity completely; the outer surface is flush with the face of the Shilling. The back (Florin) is beautifully formed to exactly match the OD of the Shilling; there is a slight, uniform gap between the two coins, but they appear to be inseparable...I'm afraid to use more force than my fingertips can provide. Overall, an extremely finely executed piece of wartime jewelry! a real delight to hold. Is there a formal name for such art? Where can I find out more? Thank you...wlw [ATTACH=full]933400[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]933401[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]933402[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
