A wonderfully romantic Victorian silver brooch fashioned from two Victorian silver sixpences superbly engraved on the front with 'AEI' a sentimental code for Amity, Eternity and Infinity.
Possibly manufactured as a commemorative mourning jewel for Victoria the back of the silver coins bear the definitive 1834 'young head' portrait of the Queen. It is just as likely that it is a romantic love token, AEI represents everlasting love
