Ooh I got a coin to play here.
Thanks to @Collect89 I have slowly been looking for these.

These coins have their dates stamped into the edges. So next theme is a coin with edge lettering/numbers.

 

You can't see it here, but the 2016 American Silver Eagle proof has edge lettering for the 30th anniversary of the ASE.



Here's a stock photo of the edge:



Keep with edge lettering/numbers

more lettered edges

 

Riau Archipelago. Same coins as issued for Irian Barat, but with an edge inscription "Kepulauan Riau". The Irian Barat issue of this coin has a reeded edge.

Riau Archipelago coins were issued near the end of 1963 (although dated 1962) and recalled as worthless on Sept. 30, 1964. They were legal tender
from Oct. 15, 1963 to July 1, 1964.
