On offer is a 1927 Portuguese silver coin that has been hand-modified into a personal dog tag. One side has been smoothed and engraved with the name Glyn Roderic and service number 2078730, suggesting it was created as a field replacement when an original identification tag was lost. Conversions of circulating coins into practical service items were not uncommon, particularly in remote or resource-limited conditions.

The coin retains its original 26mm form and weighs 6.2 grams, showing honest wear consistent with age and use. A distinctive and characterful example of an improvised military dog tag.
