With 3 points, @bd251 you are the next winner! Special thanks to @keith12 for his efforts to save my bad idea for a contest from being even worse.

This round will be a match the images challenge. One point each unless stated.  1. Wreath 2. Eagle (1) double headed eagle (2) 3. Crown 4. Stars (a single star is 0 points) 5. Orb 6. Septre 7. Cross 8. Shield 9. Lion 10. Sword or sword-like weapon. Bonus! You will be able to get bonus points if you match any of the list above in number of occurrences (if greater than one) or if you combine them together as on the challenge coin. Here are a couple more obvious examples so you can understand what I mean. Example 1: A total of six stars would get a bonus point for matching the number of stars on the challenge coin Example 2: A crowned eagle would get a bonus point for combining (2) and (3) from the list, matching the crowned eagle on the challenge coin. EXample 3: An eagle on a shield DOES NOT get a bonus because the shield on the challenge coin doesn't have an eagle. Coins from the grand Duchy of Finland (pre-1918 Finland) are not allowed as this is the design on basically half of their coins. I expect some good participation because I think most people have a coin with an eagle. |

I assume coins from the Russian Empire are also not allowed, since the coat of arms there is basically a superset of Finland's. It would only be missing the stars on the shield.

Good call @pepactonius. I think excluding these coins is probably best as they will essentially get all the points of an exact match.
- Coins of the Russian Empire between 1809 and 1917 also cannot be used in addition to Grand Duchy of Finland. EVERYTHING ELSE is fair game.
As for weapons, I didn't intend to include spears but after talking with a friend about if a spear was sword-like I've come to the conclusion that it is and will count for a point. Pitchforks and tridents would also be acceptable. No arrows.
Keith12 - 5
Spruett001 - 10 (take another look so you don't leave any bonus points unclaimed)
