The "Coin Uno" or "Follow the Leader" game (World Coins edition)

NGC MS63RB. It is just a bad photo, think I grabbed it out of a test folder that I was playing around with colour balance & contrast settings.

Still Danzig 1923 next I believe....

Is the Somali Guitar photo a mistake? I couldn't find a reference to Danzig with any of them (though a famous racehorse sire went by that name).

If so, here is a 1923


If it was supposed to be Somali


Next person gets to decide which one of these is right

 

Think I've posted my one and only Somalia coin already, so I choose USA,



USA or 1905 next

 

Second lowest mintage in series. Next: any US or any 1914.

 

Russia 1914 20 kopek

Have you ever wondered what the little thingies are in the eagle's feathers? They are the Coat of Arms of Astrakhen, Siberia, Georgia, Finland, Kiev-Vladimir-Novgorod, Taurica, Poland and Kazan (seen clockwise).

 

that's pretty cool with the eagle feathers. kind of remind of the the italy 500 lire coin with all the coat of arms around the obverse.





Russia or 1745

 

We cannot be on 1780 and not play a Maria Theresa! One of the many restrikes I have of this coin, which I collect just like bullion rounds.

 

According to Wiki, the following mints have struck MTTs: Birmingham, Bombay, Brussels, London, Paris, Rome and Utrecht, in addition to the Habsburg mints in Günzburg, Hall, Karlsburg, Kremnica, Milan, Prague, and Vienna.

We need a country & date to play coin UNO. May I choose Austria?


Austria 1807-S 30 Kreuzer

 

Austria seems to like restrikes. Here is another.

Austria, 1915, 4 Ducat. This huge, 40mm, coin is less than half an ounce of 98.6% fine gold.

 

Let's go to Portugal now.

Portugal 1915 10 Centavos

 

Malta 1968


These are Malta (1968 3 Scudi KM M38) and (1968 2 Tari KM M23).

 

Collective coin seems to be acting a bit tricky. See if this works:



It's Albania. The set is 1969. The middle coin (10 Leke) also has 1468-1968 as this is honoring the 500th year anniversary of the year of the death of Prince Skanderbeg.

Next, Albania , 1468, 1968, 1969 (going by the 10 leke coin). Edited to add--go ahead and add in 1944 as I just noticed it's in the seal on the reverse (establishment of the Socialist government, now superseded).

 

I'll play a 1969:


Biafra 1969 2-1/2 Shillings

 

Germany or 1969

 

Gotta play a USA 1969 Cent:

Does anybody here have one of these 1969 cud cents?

 

Don't have one of them...

Germany or 1969

 

Not sure If I have played this one yet...sorry if it is a repeat
Japan or 1969 next
