I do not like having half points, so I am going to round down the 30.5 mm 25 schilling to 20 mm. You get 9 points.  |

Nice try from Hondo, but bd251 still has the lead for being first.  It will take 10 (legitimate) points or more to take the lead.  |

Of all the 183x coins I have, none are 1838.  At the moment I have nothing.  Go fish. |

Best I can do from India. 1 Rupee - Shah Alam II - Bengal Presidency 1793-1818 Points: 2 for India; 0 for year = ?; 1 for 88.8% silver; 1 for size = 27 mm; 2 for weight = 11.58 g; 1 for only writing = 7 points. I'm going by Numista measurements because I cannot locate this coin at the moment. And as I can't read Persian, please correct me if I'm wrong about the ID. https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces341344.html  Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures
