A temporary display for those that #love #treasure. Another wonderful piece is currently on display in #Shropshire, in the Visitors Information Centre at @shrewsmuseum. If you are in #Shrewsbury, why not pop in and take a look 😀 #Museums #History #TokenGesture 💕🏦

Feel the romance in February with our #ObjectOfTheMonth, a Love Token made from three silver sixpences folded together into a heart shape. Not only is this artefact cute, it’s also #treasure!
