Trench Art - The Clipped Half Crown

[John Winter]

The term trench art conjures up a mud-spattered soldier in a soggy trench crafting a souvenir for a loved one at home while dodging bullets and artillery shells. I think that image is far from the truth.

The trench art I have couldn't have been made in a trench. Mine involved soldering
and I doubt those facilities were available. I've had mine for more than 40 years and
enjoy them how ever they were made.

I dont get what the "update" is about. Somebody else, 2 decades earlier made something from the same type of coin? How is that relevant to the story of the detecting find?
