A 1943 florin made into....pendant? My son spotted the reeded edge and said that's a coin dad. He was right. The back looks like it might have pearl on it. HH GL

Interesting how the profile echos the shape of the heraldic shield - Nice Find ! I like the homemade craft work feel to this
(not unlike "trench art" in that regard )

I think Trench Art as well, I wonder if you could put a small picture of your loved one in that square?

I've not seen this type before, very neat!

It's a 1943 .925 silver florin that has been made into something.
