bd251 - Those are war clubs (Waihaka) no points - must be a mask
Dorado - Mexican mask coin - yes 2 points (Mask, colonial but small, recent and base metal) Superman - No points , must be traditional/indigenous masks - not modern comic book characters made up by civilised western cultures.
Dorado you now have 25 points however and it looks like you may have this.
2 more days from today and I will shut this off - 1am Site time - Thursday May 14.

Challenge over
Dorado - 29 points, as Rupaul would say - You're a winner baby.
Thanks for everyone else who tried in a very challenging and patchy challenge by me. I will put more effort in next time.
Dorado, Con dragulations and the ball is in your court!

Good idea @dorado! Although I don't have an easy way to figure this out, I think that this is one of my largest with a through hole: a 25 Centimes from Belgium dated 1943 (diameter 26 mm):
