The triangle shaped one.

A Philippines $3 piece? Is there a prize if I'm right?

 

That's what I figured, but google is showing nothing. Maybe it's just a concept coin?

 

The weird thing is that "Manila" is spelled with one "l" normally, but that one has two.

 

Bermuda, 2007.

 

It's the name of the ship.

KM 164

 

It could be used as a guitar pick

 

Bermuda KM#164, denomination: 3 Dollars
weight: 33.6300g., .925 silver size-35mm Ruler: Elizabeth II, series: Bermuda shipwrecks. Dutchman sailing ship "Manilla" gold gilt
2007, proof mintage-15,000, value $85.00

 

I'm guessing you were able to obtain all of that information from the 6th edition, 2012 Standard Catalog of World Coins, 2001-date. Time for me to upgrade, I only have the 2nd edition of 2001-date.:smile Plus 5 other assorted hard copies and 3 digital DVDs.

 

Since the coin is part of the Bermuda Shipwreck series (all triangular coins commemorating famous shipwrecks), I'm going with this explanation:

Manillas were brass trade bracelets, a large quantity of which were recovered from the "Manilla wreck" in the Bermudas, named after the cargo, not the ship. The ship itself is unidentified.

 

A guitar pick ?????

 

Interesting... thanks

 

nope. it came from my 2013 Krause. I buy new Krause world coin catalogs every 2 years.
