This one could be an interesting contest! My entrant is a copper Cent minted in Philadelphia for the Netherlands East Indies (i.e. Indonesia). It doesn't have a human portrait. 2+5+1=8 points for me.   "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

Please specify where it was minted. Definitely two points for participation.  Seven if you think it was only intended to be used in overseas trade.  |
