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).

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:

Finland 5 penniä 1918
Yet-Another-Forum-Game---Numismatic-Go-Fish!

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.
Yet-Another-Forum-Game---Numismatic-Go-Fish!

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.
