The manufacture and practice of giving a "love token" seems to have originated in Great Britain in the early 1800s, and then migrated to the United States in the mid-to-late 1800s. The standard reference work on love tokens is Love Tokens as Engraved Coins (1991) by Lloyd L. Entenmann.

Estimate: 100-150 USD
