I’ve come across some fantastic Trench art over the years but this piece (not my own or anyone I know may I add) seems fantastic and I just thought I would let anyone who is interested in french history see it as it’s an important time in french history.

It is very interesting, but I personally found this Napoleon III 'Le Miserable' more so....

Class, That is indeed an amazing piece of craftsmanship. I would not buy one, but if I got one I’d keep it.
Taking a break from swapping for a while, but still interested in pre 1799 Spanish coins, I will make time for that!

Looking for pre 1783 coins

The large ZAR silver coins have many examples of this. Expensive and beautiful. Ordinarily depicting Krueger as a ganja smoking hippie with a hat.

Unfortunately many charlatans have self engraved these coins and called them 'trench art' so it's difficult to discern genuine ones from coins mutilated in the 50's and beyond.
