Default The Patina Collection -- Mintage Figures?

All,
I noticed on Flebay that there are now plenty of these fantasy crowns. To
refresh your memory these crowns are modern high quality unofficial
"retrospective patterns" for Great Britain, Australia, Canada, Cyprus, Hong
Kong, Ireland, Isle of Man, Jersey, New Zealand, South Africa, and Southern
Rhodesia have been produced using all of Golder's modern obverse portraits,
coupled with modern reverses which are based on old designs. All the
unofficial pieces, have therefore been struck in the years 2000-2001. A.G.
Wyon's original model for the reverse of the 1910 pattern crown, has been
used to inspire some unofficial "pattern crowns" for George V and Edward
VII. William Wyon's 'Three Graces' design, personifying Ireland, England and
Scotland, has been the inspiration for a quantity of modern Victorian
"patterns". There is a modern 'wreath crown' of Edward VIII featuring a new
version of Kruger Gray's popular reverse motif and several modern "patterns"
for Ireland, which emulate those of Reginald Huth. Altogether there are 174
unique modern gold strikings made, with more than 50 (cancelled) original
dies, lead impressions, etc. There are several thousand pieces in proof
(.925) silver, copper and golden alloy (a metal akin to goloid used in the
production of many US patterns) of the various types. You can see the
Jersey ones at http://home.hiwaay.net/~hfears/medal/Models.htm .


The following figures I have gathered from various "unofficial" sources:
CYPRUS, 1937 45 Piastres (mintage 550)
JERSEY 4 Shillings 1937 (two types: crowned bust, mintage 360, or uncrowned,
mintage 260)
SOUTHERN RHODESIA, 1937 5 Shillings (mintage 475)
SOUTH AFRICA, 1937 5 Shillings (mintage 550)

If you know the numbers of the rest please post them.

Thanks,
Harold
