About the Item

Adding to the allure, a mesmerizing pyramidal illusion is skillfully created in the upper right corner through a thoughtfully designed triangular motif. On the reverse side, two birds gracefully perch upon blooming Japanese Sakura flowers, framed by a central rectangle. Please note: the money is for display purpose. Made in England, Birmingham, 1880 Maker: George Unite & Sons Fully hallmarked.
