Australia was tricky to count because coins in my pulled-from-circulation set aren't included in the database. Neither had I gone through and updated KM numbers for Australia and Canada when I acquired my most recent Krause, a couple of years ago, so the counts for modern issues might be inaccurate. Given those caveats, here are the figures:

Australia: about 140 coins
Canada: 121 coins
USA: 74 coins

Guess I was wrong; Britain is still the winner for me.

I believe I can rival with Grace when it comes to Russian coins. They can be seen in my omnicoin page.

My highest number is likely my US coins, but I don't file them by KM#. I'd have to guess there are about 150 different KM#s. Great Britain is the second highest at 80, followed by France at 62.

Hey GO, I do hope you aren't counting "USSR" coins in with your "Russia" tally. They're two separate countries.


I sure am

I organize by main country first then name alterations second

The comment about Russia and the USSR being two countries is technically correct, but it is like saying Nazi Germany is a country that is distinct from the German Empire, East and West Germany or the New Unified Germany. They all occupy roughly the same place.

In the case of my favorite place Mexico - you could end up with quite a number of "Countries" even though you have only one location.

I wonder how many different countries have controlled ONE PHYSICAL place located anywhere on the globe? Anyone know? Have a guess?

Are you talking dot numbers as separate or as one.
If not France for me at 440.

Being roughly in the same place does not really mean they're actually the same. Everybody is free to either lump as many different countries as possible into one, or to differentiate as much as possible. When it comes the question "Most KM's for One Country?", you would of course try and add, for example, all your "German" coins from the Ottonic HRE to modern euro issues. But when the number in an OFEC collection counts, you would of course take into account that the German Empire and the Federal Republic are not one and the same country.

I do agree with Christian. I sub-categorize my countries as well.

The only tally I keep is my total number of Mexican Cap and Ray 8R coins KM-377 and their various "dots". At present I own 2,471. (Including counterfeits.)

holy moley! I don't think I own that many coins altogether!

Looking at that many, no wonder you're an expert on the series

Love how categorizing can be so confusing. Malay Peninsula, Malaya, Malaya & British Borneo, and Malaysia are all technically the same thing yet technically different.

Most depend on governmental influences, territory annexations, war, and present interpretation of the history of the past

Very interesting question. I have wondered the same myself. A couple of places come to mind, such as Iceland and Belarus, but I suspect there will not be many of them.

I myself lump Russia together with the Soviet Union and also CIS, for a total of 133 types, my second most after my home country Norway with 190. My total for Norway includes the periods where we were in union with either Denmark og Sweden, and also the German occupation 1941-45, but not the mintage of either Denmark, Sweden or Germany from the same time periods.

I assume by this question you mean a piece of real estate that has changed hands the most number of times throughout history.

I would nominate Armenia. For centuries, the area was disputed between the great powers of East (Rome) and West (Persia). Sometimes it was independent, sometimes a puppet state backed by one of the great powers, sometimes directly annexed. After the rise of Islam, it was sometimes independent, sometimes conquered. Then it became frontier territory again, this time between North (Russia) and South (Ottoman Turkey). The area known historically as "Armenia" is now divided into three zones of control: Turkish Armenia, the modern Republic of Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh, nominally under Azerbaijan control (the latter two were formerly in the Soviet Union).

The Holy Land would also qualify as a land that has changed hands often, and for similar reasons: for millennia, it was on the frontier between the two ancient centres of civilization, Egypt and Mesopotamia. Throw in the Romans, Arabs, Crusaders, Turks and British, and you've got a very long, convoluted history of ownership.

For more modern examples of lands that changed hands often, I'd look to the Caribbean islands. These are small, and most of the time not worth anyone's while to garrison and defend properly. Thus whenever war broke out in Europe, ships would be despatched to re-annex the islands. For St Kitts, for example, the history reads: Natives, French, Spanish, Natives, English, Anglo-French Partition, Spanish, Anglo-French Partition, French, Anglo-French Partition, French, English, Anglo-French Partition, French, British. All this between 1600 and 1713.

I remember from the movie 'Patton' wasn't it Palermo that was the most conquered city?
