Sorry didn't know I was the winner, here goes

Challenge - Big and old Tribal masks on coins

Yet-Another-Forum-Game---Numismatic-Go-Fish!

This is a 1937 Halfcrown of New Zealand - if you look you will see two carved faces that look like masks.

This challenge is

Find a coin with a mask on it, the mask can be dominating the design or at least a "Visible" part of it. Points will be handed out for. A tribute to my indigenous culture and the mask wearing associated with Covid 19.

1. The oldest dated in numerals based on AD or AH or any MODERN dating system, coin with a mask on it (So people with ancient coins of Medusa/Gorgon will not win straight away)

2. The oldest coin roughly datable (So Medusa/Gorgon will get somewhere)

3. A coin showing a mask from a Indigenous culture (So no classical European/Chinese/Japanese/Korean/Indian ecivilisations etc) Maya and Africa/Latin America Pacific okay.

4. The largest coin with a mask on it.

One participation point for each on a coin. Person with the most accumulated points win.

Caveats.

For types issued over multiple years - 1 point only.

No New Zealand Halfcrowns allowed.

Masks associated with civilisations not included.

Whole statues with a masked or stylised face are acceptable and count!

Metals, types, sizes all fine, same if you find medals etc.

Have fun.

...I think this would qualify. Can't think of any others offhand.
I apologize for the insanely terrible photos. My 2012 camera sucked.

Just realised my rules were too hard and will modify slightly if okay.

1 participation point each for

Mask/s on a coin
This is mandatory and if there is not a mask on the coin, you are not eligible for any points below!
Being an indigenous culture
On a larger coin (Over 35mm)
Being of a precious metal
Being dated before 1937
From a country that was colonial.

Hope no one objects.

On this criteria so far points are.

January 1 May - 4 points (Silver, mask, colonial, large)
Keith 12 - 3 points
Dorado - 23 points (Great work, 4, 4, 3, 1, 3, 3, 4 - single point only for later NZ 10 cents as its the same design as earlier, but one point as NZ was colonial - you have already collected point for mask and indigenous with other coin)
