Can a 50 cents coin be played as a half dollar and receive one point?

Quote: 1 point for similar national/cultural personification @Hondo Boguss can you be specific? Quote: (if the wreath counts) Yes, those berries count. 5 points Quote: Can a 50 cents coin be played as a half dollar and receive one point? Potentially. If the coin is commonly referred to as a half dispite saying "50 cents" on the coin, I would say yes. An example would be a US receded edge Capped Bust half dollar. It only says "50 c" and lacks the edge lettering with "half dollar," but I don't think anyone refers to it as a 50 cent coin. A 50 euro cent coin, for example, would not get a point I don't think anyone calls them "half euros."

bd215, I was thinking that the King was a national/cultural personification.

Final scores Hondo Boguss - 7 or 8 (couldn't decide how to call the country on this one. I wasn't looking for monarchs. More like Lady Liberty or Hispania) Jbuck - 5 NumisEd - 5 (I think) Triggersmob - 6 Hondo Boguss wins

Simple one. Post your coin, note, exonumia, etc. featuring a bell. Oldest dated example wins.
