| What Are Love Tokens? |
| Through the years lovers have chosen a variety of different trinkets and charms as "tokens of love" to express their love or affection to someone special in their lives. Some of the more popular were thimbles, pin cushions, rings, and carved spoons. During the victorian period the ever popular valentine card was introduced. This period also marked the peak of popularity for using engraved coins as love tokens. |
| Love Tokens such as the examples above are coins that were taken from circulation and engraved with something special on them. They are referred to as love tokens because most were made for a special occasion and presented to the receiver as a gesture of love and / or affection. They were most popular here in the United States during the period commencing shortly after the civil war until the early 1890's. |
