Question 4
The name of this coin was derived from the name of a weapon. The current century three independent countries, recognized by UN, have issued coins whose names are variations of that word. Name the three countries and their respective coins.

May I ask for clarification?
Does 'The current century' mean 'In the current century', referring to the 21st century?

I have found three countries, but two of them use the same name. Is this a possibility?
Don't answer that. I'll keep looking. Especially since some scholar disagree in the actual interpretation of the base word. Ok, answer it if you want.
I must commend you on your quiz. Excellent questions. I immediately went to one that was used a couple hundred years ago, but no current references. So I was stuck with learning more. Shame on you.

If a country is recognized by the UN twice, under different names, go for it!

Oops, I got it backwards. If it's two different countries something ought to be different in their names.

See your answer, unfortunately it's incorrect.
And (on a third time) I finally understand, you meant coins had same name, not countries!
Still, the answer is incorrect, sorry.

My answer is incorrect, or not the one you were looking for?
