Australian World War 1 Love Token – To Louie from Charles
An interesting Australian love token or forget-me-not penny that most likely dates to World War 1 and originates in South Australia. It is crudely made from a George V penny. The reverse has been skimmed off and the following message stamped into it:
FORGET ME NOT
WITH
FONDEST
LOVE
TO
LOUIE
FROM
CHARLES
