Your coin has the date x 13 times. Each numeral of a date counts as 1 word. = 52
ONE x 25
POUND x 25
ELIZABETH x 1
II are Roman numerals, but not a date.
The remainder are abbreviations or initials.
3 points for the metal
I make it 106. Very impressive. Can this be topped?

@triggersmob Too hard for my eyes also. I guess over 100 but I think Hondo Bogus has yours covered. @Hondo Bogus Fantastic example!  The Ox moves slowly, but the Earth is patient.

Lots of writing on this one from Kazakhstan, but you can't read it.  |

I counted about 220 plus 3 for the metal on the Numista example. Possibly a few more as I'm not sure if some are abbreviations. But I still think HB has you covered at this stage. Keep looking!

Maybe the least words could be the next round.
