Hi Spyro. I am very close. Every time I think I am ready I find more material to add. The Birmingham Mint was very prolific. I am giving myself until the end of this month to finalize any new entries. I know I will eventually find more things. I guess there will be an opportunity for a 2nd edition in the future.

Thank you for asking.

What date do the 2 Euro coins produced for the Royal Dutch Mint bear?
Do they have a mintmark?

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.

The Birmingham Mint book is currently at the publishers going though the publishing motions. I am hoping for a fall release. I will post as soon as it is ready.

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.
