Bought this 1908 maundy set recently. It's nicely toned and despite the dark colour on the obverse the coins still show full underlying lustre. My favourite part though is the box, a contemporary satin lined leatherette thing that is charmingly inscribed on the inside lid.

Nice. Wasn't "Bertie" the nickname of Albert aka Edward VII?

Since I'm into love tokens a lot these days, it occurs to me that what you've got there is a love token of sorts- without engraving any of the coins!
The set itself became a love token, thanks to the writing in the box.
That makes it all the more unique, literally.

Yes, I agree. If you're into love tokens LordM you might find this article I wrote a few month ago about some fairly unique love tokens interesting:

I've got a small collection of WW1 trench art pieces forming, myself.

It should work now. We've got one page that has gone viral on Facebook and we're getting about 20x the normal number of visitors.

I guess that's a good problem to have.
Ahh, there it is. I see it now. Off to read it...
