You mean like early dollars To be precise, any Flowing Hair or Draped Bust silver, or Turban Head gold, from 1794-1807 (the contemporary copper coins did have denominations). I personally don't have any of those (way too expensive for my budget), and my initial idea - the 1977 Silver Jubilee crown - doesn't seem to count as "general circulation" (despite its huge mintage). Some of my Islamic coins look promising, but since I can't read Arabic, I don't know whether they actually state the denomination (in words that I can't read). With that in mind, my apparent best option is, weirdly enough, a coin that I have won a challenge here with before...   Empire of Vietnam (Dai Nam), Nguyen dynasty, Thieu Tri, 1 Van, ND (1841-47). The upper and lower characters are the name of Thieu Tri; the left and right characters apparently translate to "coin of the realm". The denomination doesn't appear to show up anywhere. |

I cannot make up my mind, so no vote sent. Do not let me hold this up. However, if you need a tiebreaker then let me know (privately) and I will do my best.  |

I shall presume that everyone at this point who is intending to vote, has done so.
The winner is the owner of that outstanding Bavarian 'Madonna' thaler, with three votes.
Congratulations, arkie ! Next challenge is now open.
