[QUOTE="Ryro, post: 5441593, member: 91461"]Thank you so much! It IS her! And what an amazing woman:woot: that I'd never heard of. Born to a poor Jewish family in Vienna, her born name was Henrietta Kanengeiser. Her family immigrated to the US while she was little.

You could say, I love Lucy:shame::facepalm:) Anyway, she would frequently take trips to Paris, which can be seen not only in the coin type of my keepsake and the one John so kindly share, but she made a bunch of jewellery using world coins and seemed to have an affinity for Bonaparte.
