Victorian "Dick" Love Token Charm mikimoto 5cm (not including bail)DATE: Victorian, c. 1890 Saw this little love token charm and thought the name read "Duck". It doesn't, it's actually "Dick". Created by taking a coin, rubbing down one side to its blank, and engraving your name, these Victorian keepsakes were exchanged as tokens of affection (carnal or platonic). This one's created from an old thruppence (three pence, silver, 1887 1893) with Victoria's head intact on the reverse. Know someone who loves dick? Perfect
