Convict Tokens'When this you see remember me'. Convict tokens are a powerful link to Australia's past, representing an enduring connectioon between the convicts who made them and those they left behind. Engraved with personal details and rhymes of separation - an emotional response to an uncertain future, and often a final farewell. The Convict Tokens exhibit comprises a touring showcase of 40 tokens and an interactive touchscreen to view the tokens up close. Images: Natinal Museum of Australia.
