Champagne Wine Bottle Coaster bought for me by my parents many years ago. I think silver plate. They bought this, as I believe it was made and dated on the day of my birthday, but exactly 100 years previously.

I thought the same thing as nldionne when I saw the thumbnail picture.
King Petey, all the better to command your troops in their helmets :-)
