A "Death Penny" (aka "Widow's Penny") sent from Britain to the families of those who fell in battle during World War I. It came accompanied by a letter from King George V, and a small scroll. Measuring about five inches across, it appears to be made from brass or copper, with a bronze overlay. The inscription reads: "He Died For Freedom And Honour"
