I always wonder about pieces damaged like this - it's a nice 1858 5 cents - first year of official Canadian currency, so understandable for someone to snag it out of circulation as a keepsake - but why the hole on the left? My immediate thought is if you wanted to use it as a pendant etc, the top would be more logical? Maybe it was used in a bracelet like the last image though?
