Preliminary entry, because I really wanted to post it. I later realized that it's far from my best option.   Russian Empire, Paul I (1796-1801) Cut half of AE 2 kopek coin, 1798, Annensky mint 5 points for being cut, 5 points for mint. No other points AFAICT (perhaps not even Europe - Russia is transcontinental and Annensky mint was located in Siberia). Later realization: I could get 13 points for a LRB. I might have something that scores even higher. Unfortunately AFAIK none of my silver Roman coins have mintmarks. |

Some nice coins in this round. Cheers, all. Cheers indeed! I was worried that someone else would do the LRB cheat...   The first LRB I ever bought. I apologize for picture quality. Not to be included in this contest, obviously. Roman Empire, Valens (364-378 CE) AE3 (17 mm), Cyzicus mint Obverse: DN VALEN-S PF AVG, bust of Valens facing right Reverse: SECVRITAS REIPVBLICAE, Victory advancing left, SMK[A?] in exergue RIC IX Cyzicus 11B, Numista 62245 (wow, their pics are even worse than mine) 5 points for hammered 5 points for mintmark 2 points for monarch 1 point for pre-1600 total 13 points, which would have won Note that any other LRB (at least, with a surviving mintmark, which does rule out many 5th century coins) would have gotten 13 (or more) points the exact same way.

Well I wasn't really expecting to win with 12 points. I just got a bunch of modern banknotes. How does everyone feel about a banknote challenge?
