MORE ON POP-UP COINS

To answer the insert-pop-up question, here is an illustration of a Cook Islands item. Gold plated copper "coin", with a silver plated "pop up" feature.

Two planchets, one as an irregular shape die cut out, with a small rectangle at the bottom edge, which fits into a rectangular depression in the coin base.

This is a specialty of the Mayer Mint (a private mint doing many NCLT issues)
