    There once was a coin from Miletos,
    With a lion who looked quite ferocious.
    A stellate design,
    From a very old time,
    Said, “I’m small—but my pedigree’s gorgeous!”

    Well, to counteract any unluckiness, and since you waxed poetical with your contest entry, here’s an extra number in the drawing for you. :)

    Lol. That means it accomplished its purpose and made you smile, at least a little bit

    250907-25 Canada: 2023 silver 5-dollars of Elizabeth II, Maple Leaf
    Everything I win or find goes to my granddaughter. She favors large coins and has no Canadian silver, so Im sure she'd love this.
    Thanks for allowing my entry into your drawing.

    Almost missed the boat.

    I'd like to enter for the Mercury Dime Lot. I know a few potential YN's who'd enjoy them. Thanks as always for hosting these!

    Despite the lack of pictorial elements on that token, it's a CircCam!

    It is time for our drawing.

    The random number generator picked our lucky number, which was... 20.

    upload_2026-9-1_2-26-0.png
    Post #20 was by @weryon ... on behalf of @Kasia!
    Wow, look at that! For the second month in a row, @weryon won the random drawing! Only this month he won it for someone else.

    You know what this means, if you've read all the posts in this thread.

    It seems @Kasia is going to get the Crusader States coin... and name it "Keegan"! :p
    Unless of course you wish to change your mind and pick a different prize, @Kasia.

    Here is the Crusader coin:


    Giveaway Lot #250906-06

    Crusader States: ca. 1163-1201 AD silver "helmet" denier of Bohemond III of Antioch
    [​IMG]

    A medieval hammered silver "helmet" denier of Bohemond III, Prince of the Crusader State of Antioch. He was also known as "Bohemond the Child" or "Bohemond the Stutterer".

    Obverse: Mailed and helmeted bust left; crescent left, star right.

    Reverse: Cross pattée; crescent in one quarter.

    Diameter: 18 mm. Weight: 1.03 g.

    Ex-Ephesus Numismatics, 9 December 2024, with their tag.

    ~*~*~*~*~*~

    So COINgratulations, @Kasia, and good on you for your thoughtfulness, @weryon!

    @Kasia - I shall message you shortly and will need a refresher on your shipping address, as well as confirmation that this is indeed your final prize pick. Do please remember to post to this thread later after you get the prize.

    Hey, @Nyatii - sorry you didn’t win that one after months of trying for it, but at least you get to tell your puppy Keegan that the prize coin got named in his honor, right? ;)

    I’ll see if I can’t find another one of those Crusaders for the giveaway stash later. I need to do some restocking on the ancient and medieval goodies, as both those categories have gotten pretty much picked clean.

    I was just now able to get on the computer. Oh! The disappointment. But I know it's going to a good home. @Kasia, wanted it pretty bad too. It's good the coin went to her, and glad my puppy has it named after him. Sniffle...sniffle...

    I knew you would be disappointed, but I did actually want the coin, so I didn't change my selection once I won it. And naming it after your puppy (I shall call it...) was likely what got me the coin... I had to do it.

    That said, I'm sure you will win a coin you love, too.
