label: Description
content: This coin is called a love token because the official markings have been replaced with a personal message. Some have artistically arranged initials and others depict objects of personal significance. Because love tokens are engraved by hand, they are unique. They may be used as lucky charms, jewelry, or commemorative gifts.
