ROYAL MINT CANTEEN TOKENS

  Philip Mernick writes: "The old Royal Mint in London also
  used tokens. They are metal, uniface, square with rounded
  corners and reading ROYAL MINT CANTEEN around
  the value. I have seen denominations of 1/2 and 1 and I
  believe there were others. Until very recently the Mint
  Museum had none of them as they were so commonplace
  at the time that they hadn't bothered to put any aside!
  They will probably date from the late 60s/early 70s as the
  Mint moved to Wales in 1975. "
