Well, since I have officially been declared the winner, I hope that it does not offend anyone that I make the next offering even though the tally sheet has not been posted.

For today's offering we have some exonumia, specifically a World War 1 medal.


I realize that not everyone collects medals, so some points will be granted to anything matching some of the design elements even if it is not a medal.

Yet-Another-Forum-Game---Numismatic-Go-Fish!

Here is the scheme:

Any medal: 1 point

Any medal 25 mm (a little less than 1 inch) in diameter or larger: 1 point

Any medal with a WW1 theme (does not have to be dated in that period): 1 point

Medal with the clasp attached: 1 point

Medal with the ribbon (the original or a reasonable facsimile of the original) as well: 1 point

Anything, medal or not, with a horse and a rider: 1 point

Anything, medal or not, with King George V: 1 point

Anything, medal or not, with dates between 1914 and 1918 (WW1 period): 1 point

Participation: ½ point (I like this idea!)

Maximum points: 8 (mine is missing a ribbon so it would only get 7 points).

@arkie, $1?

Those are sterling silver, about 0.7 oz ASW I think. I need to know who is selling silver at that price! That was a great deal, and you are ahead, pending someone getting this with a ribbon!

Of course they do. I have also used my Newfoundland ten cents at least three times.

Looks like 2 points total. Not much, but hopefully I can do better in the next round.

Unfortunately, I don't have the obverse picture so... 1 point?

@BD251, I know that G V is on the back, so 2 points
@Michael Lueders, I am glad that someone finally found one with a ribbon. 4 points actually. The participation 1/2 point is only if no other points have been scored.
