Dick Doty writes:

Regarding the Heatons and their mint, as far as I know, the Heaton Mint was based on the old machinery of Boulton, Watt & Company. The latter was sold off in the spring of 1850, and Heaton bought most of the equipment. So the Heaton Mint couldn't have begun any earlier than that: you can't strike coins if you don't have a mint.

Here's a another new coin design - France's 1000 Euro Gold coin. The images were forwarded by ultra-modern numismatist P.K. Saha. Thanks! I like the reverse, but I'm not so keen on the obverse - it looks pretty flat. -Editor
