They were originally designed as prizes for the British Popular Coin Idol, hence the Union Jack. That and they were being released from the British coin forum only. Then i thought up the idea of two currencies and trading and rather than design a whole load of new designs it was just easier to print off alot more existing designs. Pure idleness on my part.
