Got this coin for a few cents (not even a half dollar) quite some time ago. I bought it for its silver and never thinking much about it.
Today, I found it again in my slick coins pile and I'm kinda weirded out by how "preserved" the reverse side is while the observe is (probably) sanded down to its field, leaving nothing to identify the Queen.
Is this some kind of protest? fraud attempt? or just entertainment?
Any info regarding possible explanations of this coin is appreciated!
Maybe the Queen’s side was sanded down to make the coin into a button for a jacket.
Hi to whoever is reading this. Did you know that TYPEWRITER (on a QWERTY keyboard) is the longest word you can type using only the letters on one row of the keyboard.
Verweis : "Camerinvs"... or a small "love token" that was never actually engraved.

Popular in the Victorian era, these truly personal and cherished items were given to show a loved one your devotion, or collected on charm bracelets in memory of the death or celebration of a birth of a loved one. They were created by polishing one side of a silver coin and then carefully etching and engraving a name, initials or message into them.

Ah! It really does look like it. If it is a love token blank, it's honestly kinda sad that it's never been an actual love token

Or maybe it was finished and then later "erased" by the receiver.
