Heaton/Birmingham Mint Advertising, Specimen And Pattern Pieces

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.

Very nice!

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.
