Marz,
Can you identify the coin above for me? We already knocked out India but I was thinking it may be from one of the SE Asian countries that we don't currently have on the list, perhaps?

I have a few new coins to contribute to the cause once I take some pics, but, in the meantime, I wanted to bring this thread back from hibernation and see if anyone would like to include any more country pics that haven't been introduced yet.
Just to quickly rehash the rules, please don't include any coins with a purity less than .900 silver, and keep the denomination around $1 and above (I'm trying to avoid the small stuff like dimes, quarters, and halves, etc). If you have the info handy, please leave the coin's most relevant stats, especially silver purity, as well as country, if it's not apparent from the pic.
Even though they obviously can't be added to our official tally, feel free to post countries that have already been used. Anyone can update the main list of countries (found a couple of posts above this one), as long as you keep countries in alphabetical order. If someone just wants to leave a country pic, no worries, I'll get to it, eventually.
Thanks in advance.
Edited to adjust country count
