    Here are some photos of the coins.

    Those are rare - nice find! Now that you've mentioned the 1911 series, I picked this up a few months ago. Oddly, it included a few of each denomination known, except the florin, which was missing entirely. So I think you may have the rarest of a rare set!

    That’s correct - some say this is where the saying “Know your Onions” comes from, but I can’t be sure. A (presumably) full set of these in the original mesh purse, in the original cardboard box does exist in private hands. When I remarked to the current owner that it must have been expensive, they replied “it cost an arm and three legs”.

    Here are examples of the Blackpool Tower & Blackpool Wheel "Half Farthings" that copper123 mentions above. Apologies for poor photos, the toning on these is very dark - almost akin to the mint darkened farthings of similar period.

    A really nice set! You've done well to get that! The smaller size ones are so hard to come by.

    TOY COINS

    That is seriously rare! Only 3rd known example I am aware of, after Rogers example, and my own example. It's likely that David Magnay also had at least 1 example, but I am unsure where the piece might now be, or if it could be this example, or my own.

    All good here thank you, hope you are well too? The one on eBay is only the 4th example I am aware of - this one, my own one, and 2 within a (presumably) full set, in the original mesh purse, in the original box (which I can only wish I owned!). Interestingly, the 2 in the full set are different. One has a grained edge and another plain. Only ones I’m now missing are the Sovereign and Half Sovereign, which appear to be rarer than others likely because in the full set, there were only 1 and 2 examples of these respectively. The Penny however there were at least 6 of in each set, so more common. Like you, I’m amazed and pleased to see toy/model money achieving good prices! This one surprised me, and also some of the H Hyams Model Crowns seen in good condition also, fetching £200+ each recently.

    Hi Larry, not me, as I already have one, and it wasn’t the person who I thought was going to win either (I won’t name them as I don’t think they are a member). No idea who got it, but congrats to them, as it’s a very rare piece.

    I would say it works on the same principles, coins sliding along a built frame, used for teaching children.

    Lastly, Penny (solder marks on rev.)

    TOY COINS

    Half Crown Rev (no double lug or solder marks, which is strange)
