Box Dollars

Box coin fashioned out of the obverse and reverse of an Austrian 1848-A 2 Kreuzer, KM-2188. Extremely Fine.

An intriguing piece, both due to host type and construction. This box coin screws open and closed with the two halves coming fully apart when open. The interior is empty, but with light circular planing within both the lid and base. The exterior is evenly toned in medium brown with glints of pale pink evident at direct light angles.
