Leaden Hearts Convict Love Token Exhibition
'Leaden Hearts' is an exhibition of convict love tokens. These are coins that were smoothed on one side and inscribed with a declaration of love to a significant other before their transportation to the new colony in Australia. This is possibly the largest private collection of these tokens in the world.
NSSA member Peter Lane has generously loaned the 45 piece collection to the museum for display to the public.
