UK national transport tokens

[malj1]

The same obverse logo is also used on the £1 see at Reply #11 although the euro omits the ®

I have contacted Stagecoach who tell me that the National Transport Tokens were issued for England, Scotland and Wales only, so the aluminium Euro one must presumably be a test or trial piece. You can see on the logo face that the Registered mark ® is not present on the Euro coin, otherwise the logo is the same as the 50 official one. As I am selling a collection on behalf of someone else, I shall sell this Euro token on Ebay as a singleton, the rest still await more sorting.

I must seek one of those 1Euro 

I now have the Euro 1 test piece with the NTT logo (the ® is omitted) 25mm Aluminium and edge reeded with seven indents.

Very similar to the flan of the 20 euro cent except this is 22.25mm and edge plain with seven indents

However I am no further forward with the reason for the test piece.

Since Birmingham and Utrecht are out of business now, maybe Roger Williams Mint (now TokensDirect) knows more.

Here is the full scan of the late John Tolson's article National Transport Tokens, TCS Vol 5.No.11

I am confident we have covered the national tokens well in WoT, though I'd like to see the test tokens above added, but additional detail is of course always welcome. Thanks malj1!

Mention has also been made previously of proofs of some issues too.

Very Very late to the party here. Does anyone have a Gemini token spare. Only one I can't find/have

Thanks
Brian

I don't. That is the hardest one to find.

Here are the Zodiac 10p tokens. One (Gemini) is missing and another (Aquarius) was shown before in this thread. Special thanks to andyg for collecting these (including most of the tokens shown earlier) tokens for me.

Gemini is a very rare one

[Offa]

The only current one I've not located for Peter is the 10p zodiac sign - Gemini.  Everything else current has been illustrated in thread as far as I know - (I'd be surprised if there are any but am waiting to be proved wrong!)  The older ones with the hole I never see in use as they are not current anymore, so not sure what is issued.

(ps given that I work for the opposition should I be communicating with you?  )

Gemini is extremely rare

[Offa]

That is an easier question - I don't have any of the Zodiac tokens!

I've got lots spare but no gemini
