EDU--Class 18-3 Coin & Coin Like Buttons with Matthew Brown

This 90-minute focus on the history of buttons (and other related collectibles) made from coins (and other related objects) will also explore how these buttons fit into collections of subjects and themes. Matthew Brown has lived in France for nearly thirty years and has spent more than twenty of them enthusiastically accumulating buttons, many of them found languishing in tins and jars at rural flea markets in Normandy and Picardy. Buttons and studs made from coins are the most recent addition to the ever-growing list of things he collects.
