Estimate $150

LOVE TOKEN, a Georgian penny shaved smooth on both sides, pierced hole at top edge for suspension, obverse, in the centre is stipple inscribed, 'J.Price' with a heart below and an intricate pattern around the outside, reverse stipple inscribed with a similar pattern around the outside and inside this pattern, 'How/Sweet/is/Love'. Very fine.
There are 14 people with the name J.Price on the list of convicts sent to Australia, however, the above item appears more likely to be a token given to a love interest rather then a convict token.
Estimate / sale price does not include buyer's premium (currently 22% including GST) which is added to hammer price. All bids are executed on the understanding that the Terms & Conditions of sale have been read and accepted. For information on grading and estimates please refer to the Buying at Auction advice.
