How about this: post a coin from defunct political entity such as a former colony, country, dutchy, etc. Here is one of mine: a 1991 Czechoslovakia 100 Korun coin commemorating Antonin Dvorak.  Not sure about the rules yet and how to assign points. Open to suggestions.

How about the shortest-lived entity?

Ironically enough, the Czech and Slovak Federative Republic (the issuer of the challenger's coin) was actually the first one I thought of when I saw the challenge, before I saw what the coin was! I don't have anything of theirs, though, so I'll go with the almost similarly brief Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic...  The RSFSR was independent from 1917 until 1922, though it was still issuing coins in 1923, when the coins above came out. (I have one of their 1922 coins, and can post that instead!) In 1922, the USSR was formed, with the RSFSR folded into it as a member. The first issue of joint USSR coinage was in 1924 (I have some of those too, but no pics - all the coins had been left at home).

I have a few coins from around the world that could work, but might want to use them for upcoming 20 questions
