I know that they existed during our tenure as Baron and Baroness, but I
couldn't pin down exactly when (I know I still have quite a stash of Ponte
Alto coins ;-). Mistress Anne seems to have a much better memory of this
than I do. Now that I read her recollections, I do remember that a lot of
coins were made for the original Tournament of Roses.

Hmmm. Roses... I wonder whatever happened to the "bridge" croquet wickets?
