On offer is a remarkable and rare piece of Falklands War trench art, created in 1983 by a serving soldier. This highly personal artifact captures a unique moment in history — shortly after the Falklands Conflict — when British service members were still stationed on the islands.

The piece features a natural Falklands rock, into which the soldier has embedded ten genuine Falkland Islands coins, all dated 1983. The coins range from 1p to £1 equivalents, each featuring native wildlife or royal imagery. Affixed to the front is an engraved copper plaque reading:

“Falklands Tour – 1983”,
alongside a hand-etched outline map of the Falkland Islands.

Mounted on a black wooden base, this piece measures approximately 7 inches wide by 5 inches tall. It is both a wartime souvenir and a piece of folk sculpture, created with pride, memory, and a strong sense of place.
