Pictorial love tokens seem to be rare on gold host coins. This is the only gold pictorial I can recall seeing, at any rate. The engraving is unsophisticated but not without a certain folksy charm. Given the "hatching chick" motif, I'd say this was almost certainly given as a christening token.

It is definitely unusual and literally unique. Not for everyone, perhaps, but a worthy addition to any discerning collection of love tokens.

Asking $225 delivered within USA via PayPal F&F (or add 3% for standard PayPal).
