Nope, additional hint for 06: no monarch is featured on this silver coin.

02 with an unchanging design and coat of arms? Is it from the Netherlands East Indies?
The description of 07 makes me think Columbia (one, two, or five pesos).

Joseph7420:
07 is correct - Colombia 2 pesos p/m.
02 is not from a Dutch colony, however it's also from an island. But it has to be mentioned that Netherlands East Indies is among the 100, so if you look closely...

bart, correct, 63 Yugoslavia aluminum 5 dinara.


Current status:
44/100 identified.
Missing 00-02, 05-06, 10, 12-15, 20-22, 25, 28, 31, 33, 36, 39-43, 45, 47, 51, 53-54, 57-58, 60-61, 66-68, 71-72, 74-84, 87, 89-90, 92-93, 95-96, 99.

All wild guesses welcome. After all, you won't have any points deducted for it!

With all those hints: I suppose 02 is from Guernsey, the doubles series, probably the 4 doubles

Is 57 a USSR coin (10, 15 or 20 kopek)? That seems to be what you were hinting for.

Wild guess for this post: is 39 Belgium? (If so, probably the cupronickel 1 franc.)

EDIT: and I probably already know the answer (and if not, it would probably give too much away), but just in case: does any coin type appear more than once, or are all 100 coins different types?

41 reminds me of a 1 or 2½ cent coin from the Netherlands.

Sorry guys, I was at a local coin show. Such an underwhelming experience...

Anyway, bart and Joseph7420 are both correct, these are 2½ cent coins from Netherlands East Indies and Netherlands respectively.

january1may, yes that is correct 57 is a Soviet 15 kopek, somewhat weakly struck near the rim perhaps. And 39 is indeed Belgium (5 francs actually).

All 100 are different types, unless I made a mistake somewhere.


Currently 49/100 identified, second part of the prize for the next contest ordered (I assume someone will get one more to get the total to 50%).

Currently missing: 00-01, 05-06, 10, 12-14, 20-22, 25, 28, 31, 33, 36, 40, 42-43, 45, 47, 51, 53-54, 58, 60-61, 66-68, 71-72, 74-84, 87, 89-90, 92-93, 95-96, 99.

Hints:
There is still one Netherlands East Indies coin to be found.
10 is probably the closest to the location of most our members here out of the 100.
40 is from a country that was set up only the year before.
53 and 54 are from two entities separated at that time by one country. None of these exist anymore in this form - these two don't and neither does the one that separated them.
There are still 6 South American coins between 60 and 90 to be identified.
