Circulating tokens of Slovak village Široké

I managed to get 1 piece of each base-metal denomination of circulating tokens from Široké. It is a village in eastern Slovakia (about 40 km from High Tatras mountains), whose mayor wanted to make a coinage circulating only in the village itself.

Sokol, as it is named, was firstly issued in 2010. In 2014 there was another issue because there were no coins serving its initial purpose.

In 2015, an issue of 1, 2, 5 and 100 sokol occurred because of the 695th anniversary of the date, when village was first mentioned.

I am selling the first three: 1, 2 and 5 sokol.

​Pretty unpatient people, there in Široké. Why didn't they wait for 5 more years?

It was an idea of mayor. And at the 700th anniversary he might be not a mayor anymore.

Sold.

One more set available if anyone is interested.
