These coins are substantial, thick and heavy. The pleasure of metal coins begins here, and any pretty coin that is as light as plastic is not a coin worth having. This set of coins weighs almost 3/4 of a pound (over 330g), and each coin is 3.3mm thick! They weigh twice as much as typical coins.

These coins feature a very young Queen Victoria on the £100 coin and a slightly older Queen on the £500 coin. No elderly Queens here. The backs have Obsession elements (lion rampant, fleur-de-lis, courtship couple, starter guest crown, tile rose), yet these coins will fit like a glove in any Victorian-era board game.

These coins stack. Similar to the poker player who manipulates chips, a gamer does the same, stacking and restacking coins, organizing them constantly. Coins that don't stack just end up in a sloppy pile.
