Aren't we waiting on @j1m to proclaim a winner?

And I was waiting for 7 days to have passed. Especially since there still were occasional new entries.
Um, I think there's around four hours still left?

OK... so apparently nobody posted in those four hours (or the eight hours after that), so this round is officially over.
I really liked @Spence's three-calendar coin - didn't expect that to be a thing; sadly, the way my points system worked out, it didn't even get any points at all. Sorry.
A lot of people entered Israeli coins for 5 points; this was to be expected. What wasn't expected was that nobody seemed to have anything better. It was nice to see the Thai coin for a change though (even if the photo quality sucked). (It was also nice to see @jbuck's 2018 nickel - that's what I meant by "participation bonus"!)
My favorite in the Israeli category was probably @pepactonius's 25 mils. As I've said, I'm still looking for that type - if I do try for an Israeli circulating type set it's probably going to be the last remaining hole! (I'm not trying for it at the moment, but I might as well given how far along I already am. Though that 25 mils thing would be darn tricky.)
However, as the ties are supposed to be broken by highest date (since, IIRC, all the Israeli coins entered only had dates in one calendar on them), the winner, with the highest date of 5772, is @owatchman's 10 agorot.
Congratulations @owatchman! The next round is yours!

I sent a PM to Owatchman but apparently he didn't get it or it went into spam folder, have seen him posting elsewhere...needs to answer at least, or pass on the baton to someone else.

I'd think the 5741 coin would be the runner-up, followed by the 5720?
