Has anyone else received the complete Vignettes of Royalty series yet?

I received my last coin of the series today (Elizabeth II) and guess what I found in the box.........a Bonus coin from the Mint!!

It's a 36mm, High Relief Copper coin with the uncrowned effigy of Edward VII. There was a certificate of authenticity included with the coin but it was not numbered like the regular Vignettes of Royalty coins were.

I'm attaching two scans of the coin in case anyone is interested.

Me too! Got mine today!

The copper medallion has a diameter of 36 mm and the effigy of Edward VIII is in ultra high relief.

Hi Hawk,
In this particular case I used a high DPI scanner and post processing color matching. I carefully opened the capsule, worked with semi-conductor type gloves and in a dust-free environment too...

That helps.
