Ok, here is an idea: Unusual world regions have always been interesting to me. This is a Japanese puppet state of China 5 Fen dated TT 3 (1934).  Scoring: Date of any 1934 Japanese puppet state coin: 5 points 1933 dated or 1935-1939: 4 points 1940-1945: 3 points Lotus flower: 5 points Agriculture theme (grains, fields, etc): 4 points Any other design: 3 points Bonus points: Dragons, 1 point each Numerals 1, 5, 10, 1 point Flags, towers, 1 point each Any Chinese coin in the 1930s, 3 points Any Chinese coins in the 1920s or 1940s, 2 points Go fish: 2 points  Lets try this, see how it goes for a couple of days, may have to edit possibly...

Finland 5 penniä 1918  Any other design: 3 points Numerals 1, 5, 10, 1 point Flags, towers, 1 point each 5 points I had two 5 pointers, but chose this one since it fits the theme of the challenge coin better. Not really an unusual region, but an unusual issuer. This coin was minted during the Finnish Civil War when the Red Army (Socialist party) occupied Helsinki, and the mint, in the late winter/early spring of 1918. They would ultimately loose to the Whites (conservative party) in May. The obverse legend translates to "people's work, people's power."

Sorry, I don't have much time to organise this. So just a quick and easy one.  Post a coin with a long name on it, both first and last name and even middle names if used. Titles not included. Longest number of letters in the name wins. Simple! The one above has 20.
