I've seen one before. Someone put one on here some time ago but I can't remember who.

(Or it might have been the Scottish Site) I can't remember that either  Roll Eyes I can remember that it's only the 2nd one in 4 years though  Cheesy

Nice unusual find.

I assume it was, in Geoff's link the figure 12 links to the number of dots on the reverse of the token so the child would count the dots and associate it with the figure 12?
