This is A Token Sterling Silver Necklace

Presented to the Foundling Hospital in 1759, 'This is A Token' is one of the iconic tokens in the Museum's collection.

This delicate pendant is modelled on an engraved piece of copper from a parent who brought their child for care at the Foundling Hospital. It was separated from the child's records in the 1860s, so no information is available about who the token was connected to.

Materials
Rhodium-plated sterling silver necklace. Rhodium plating is hypoallergenic and prevents tarnish for longer.
Chain length: 42 cm (16.5 inches)

Specially made by Ingrid Rossi for the Foundling Museum.
