This is a wonderful example of Trench Art that can be worn! Soldiers in WWII would make rings like this often out of whatever was in their pockets and send them home to their sweetheart or loved one. These items became known as Trench Art. This ring was made from a 1942 Australian Shilling. On the inside of the ring can be read "Australia Schilling / 1942" The Latin inscription from the head side of the coin can also be read. The ring is in good condition for its age; it measures to approximately size 4 and weighs .10 oz.
