Might just keep it simple this round. Post a coin with any creature, including humans and we are scoring points for the number of legs we can see. So for a horse, you can score 4 points (if we can see part the legs), or horse and rider would be six points if we can see part of all the legs. You can count both sides of the coin. So add up all the points and then we can multiply by the bonus factor. Bonus factor.. 5 x for gold and silver (even if only plated) 4 x for gold only. 3 x for silver only 2 x for bi-metallic. 1 x for any other metals. 43 points for this one x 1 for other metals = 43 https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces346317.html  Edited by triggersmob

Nice challenge, triggersmob! Working on my entry. But as a retired biologist, I'm having trouble figuring out your score. Obverse is easy - 12. Reverse: cuttlefish/squid - 6; shrimp/prawn - 5 (the appendages attached to the tail are swimmerets, not legs); octopus #1 = 5; octopus #2 = 8; nudibranch - 1, since it's a gastropod and has a "foot"; jellyfish 0 - tentacles and oral arms are not used for locomotion; total for reverse - 25.

I'll take your total Hondo, I wasn't actually sure, what was legs or not. Thanks for clarifying. I also wasn't too fussy, as my score doesn't count. I hereby make you the official judge, if we have any disputes.  |

Clarification needed, triggersmob. This US $1 2007 commemorating desegregation of Central High School in Little Rock depicts 18 legs or parts (actually it's the Little Rock Nine and a guard, but two legs are not visible). That would be 18 X 3 = 54 if all are included.  Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

Nice coin. Points can be claimed if you can see at least part of the leg, such as a foot.

May not be a winner, but can score pretty high...  Close to N#107354, the Patrick Henry silver commemorative medal, but mine has the bonus of being plated in 24kt gold.    Eight legs on obverse plus two legs from the eagle on reverse equals 10 legs total × 5 for gold plated silver totals 50 points... I have the same coin as bd251, but let him play it  Edited by mrwhatisit

Nice addition Mrwhatisit. Not sure I can see al those legs, but at this stage it doesn't matter.
Time to announce Bd251 as the winner, with his great example.
