 Nobody would know the origins, as it was (some time in the 

last 200 years) privately made - by skillfully removing all of the 

reverse except for the A B letters remaining. 

 Such items are known as ‘love tokens’ and there are topics on here. 

Example: https://en.numista.com/forum/topic156196.html 

where most are engraved whereas yours is as explained.
