Pertinax, based on the information I have it would have been 2002 when the Euro coins were first introduced for circulation. You will not find a difference between what the Birmingham Mint produced and the Royal Dutch Mint produced.

These playing card tokens were minted by The Mint, Birmingham around 1899/1900. There are two sets shown in silver and copper. The round ones are 18mm in diameter and the hexagonal piece is 19mm. These were designed and commissioned by William Comyns, a London silversmith. It is indicated in Royal Commemorative Medals 1837-1977, Volume 1 by Whittlestone & Ewing that there may also be Brass, Bronze, Nickel and Gold sets.

Hiya. Just wondering how the publication of bhmtokens's book is going. Also wondering how best to get in touch when it comes to ordering a copy. If a moderator reads this, please feel free to pass my email address to bhmtokens so he can get in touch with me when the time comes. Many thanks. Spyro.

Hi Spyro and the rest of the community. I am just working on a final revision with my publisher. Once this is done the book should be available by the new year. It has been an interesting process and I have enjoyed every step.
I will post when the book is available. Thank you.
