Engraved Coins, Love Tokens, and Coin Jewelry

Engraved Fraternal Piece Fashioned out of an 1851-Dated Liberty Head Quarter Eagle.

The reverse of the host coin depicts a pictorial engraving of a shield with a helmet at the top, crossed axes behind the shield and a plant with the letters K and P on each side. This is the symbol of the Knights of Pythias, a separate fraternal organization than that of the Masons. The original pinback mounting has unfortunately been removed.

From the Steve M. Tompkins Collection.

Estimate: $ 250
