The History of Coins as Love Tokens
In England, love tokens were commonly formed from silver coins that were bent with the hands. These are known to the collecting world as ‘benders’ and are often found by metal detecting enthusiasts. Whether this indicates a lot of failed romantic gestures is difficult to say, but certainly these tokens were part of a commonly practised tradition. Naturally, it was the sixpence that took the starring role in this feat of strength…it’s the coin that is forever entwined with romance in England.
