Sometime ago John Benedict posted a message about possible LE from the Holland Casino (4/2/2000). I have been able to find a set. The set is called "De kunst van het spel" (the art of the game).
I think this is one of the most beautiful sets I have ever seen! How about "foreign" chip set of the year?
The Dutch artist Clemens Briels, made five paintings for the Holland Casino. He was inspired by five opera's in which "a link with gambling" is present. The scan shows the chips that come in an elegant display unit. Included is a colorful booklet (sorry, but this is written in Dutch) that tells about the artist and the paintings. The reverse side of the chips is in the same style with the value (10 guilders) and the Holland Casino sign.
