I do hope this isn't a road to the term 'pint' just becoming a generic name rather than actually holding meaning. I remember when a 99 referred to the price!

The number 99 meant royalty in Belgium, where flakes came from. Nothing to do with price

Did not know that, very interesting! Wonder if there's something similar for the UK.

Lion and Unicorn? Probably? The actual crown itself has a fancy form of copyright on it where you cannot really use it on anything except for historical stuff or tacky memorabilia celebrating the likes of a coronation, jubilee, birth, death, etc
