Here's my entry:   Notgeld or Kriegsgeld (or similar, private coin of necessity) - 1 Country - Germany (or predecessor states) - 1 Private post-WWI city, any - 1 Denomination - Fraction of a Mark - 1 Composition - Any base metal - 1 Design: Any bird - 1 each (two ducks) Oak leaf/leaves - 1 (the rim design looks to be made of oak leaves, but I cannot confirm this)  So it's at least 7 points, eight if the leaves count.

Well, it turns out that I'm not exactly full of ideas. So, maybe a simple "match the coin" will do. Here's the coin:   I love the rims on that one! The first to exactly match wins. If no one can do that, then the closest to an exact match will win! This round will end if someone matches it exactly, otherwise it will end Wednesday night with the closest entry. "Close" can mean you have a 1979 US dime. Every aspect, including composition and shape, would be under consideration. In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

I didn't know the challenge coin was a one-year type. Thanks bd251! Also, you're in the lead. I actually expected someone to have an exact match out of the box. Hmmm....  In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

This is a tough challenge as virtually all of my Indonesian coins are older and denominated differently. I think this is about as close as I can get: this 100 Rupiah dates to 1999, but at least comes from the right country and was issued by the right bank.   "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."
