This I just literally picked up as a junk silver purchase a few days ago from a coin dealer!
This ones dated 1917-M and is my only one from that denomination.
I knew this coin would come in handy sometime!
This one will be hard to beat, but not impossible...

This should add up to 26 points out of 29!

Great start, but it can be topped.

Clue - It can't be an Australian "Florin" from 1910

Nice challenge, I've got a couple of ideas but just working out which is most efficient with points. Not sure I can top 26 though!

Good example!
None of my 19 Canberra Florins compare to it.

Time to end the competition

Congratulations Mrwhatisit!

The next challenge is yours.

PS - the highest scoring allowable coin would have been a 1910 Australian Shilling, it would have scored 27 points!
