Object history | Convict love tokens, typically made of smoothed down coins engraved or stippled with a message, provide a poignant, personal insight into the transportation system, as well as its transnational character. Convict tokens were made for the whole of the transportation period in New South Wales and Tasmania, with the majority produced during the 1820s and 1830s. Also known as 'leaden hearts', the tokens stem from traditional sailors' farewells. As objects purposely made by or for convicts to give as mementos to loved ones left behind when prisoners were transported, the tokens are a unique part of the record of a convict's transportation experience. They record personal and emotional responses from convicts whose lives are more often represented by official government records. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
