I'll try to explain my meaning without completely giving it all away!

Someone has guessed the correct "name" of the coin type but not the correct denomination.

For example: Say a random country like "Outer Garbagia" has a currency called the "Tree". If someone guesses a "5 Tree" coin and the one for this contest is a "1 Tree" coin, then the coin type (being Tree) has been guessed but the correct denomination (being 1) has not.

It might be clearer if you think of it as if I had used the term "Coin Name" versus "Coin Type".

Helpful? Clear as mud?

I'm not much of a detective. I'm hoping I've followed the clues to the correct answer.

No, sorry ikandiggit.


This is the right denomination (It's actually a 1/4 Balboa but that equals 25 Centesimos...)
