Impressed name on George IV crown

[Rambler]

I have a George IV silver crown, dated 1822, and on both sides is has impressed into it the words/name W H PELLOW.

What does this signify and why was it done?

It's probably an advertising or love token, both of which were popular in the 19th century, but I won't click on links like those on a public forum.

Could you please upload the pictures rather than links?

Thanks for the feedback.

It should have been just the pictures that were uploaded. Trying again.111b1d9f-2dd7-416d-8bae-05c5ed82a317.jfifdbe01330-61cb-40d7-aaf2-f6d3e6b08be9.jfif

These are the pics as jpg. I don't think the forum can handle jfif images.
