I don’t know what a “coin locket” is, but would a gentleman have a heart shaped locket?  :-\

It looks like if you hung it up by the chain, the heart would be upside down.

(It doesn’t help with your initials, but I was just curious)  :)

It’s a Sovereign case, brain wasn’t in gear.

I don’t know about the shape, hadn’t really considered that to be fair.

When you look at the initials upside down (which is the right way when the locket would be worn) the initials look like SGP to me.

I think you’re right Trishanne.  Good thinking.  :)
These things can often be tricky to decipher, but this one was impossible - no wonder.  ;D
