Really glad to see a time and some Maundy money! Thanks - I am really loving all the ancients and that wire money of Russia Gincoin43. Love this game - it really helps us all dig to the depths of our collections to find the really interesting stuff and everyone has a different interpretation on each challenge! By the standards of the competition - this coin is huge and like Dorado - I am fishing for a participation point here!   Ceylon 10 cents - silver and 14mm in size, one of their many small coins - but crown sized next to the Indian cashes and the wire money  Edited by Princetane

If I remember correctly, mine is about 6.5mm at the longest point. I will dig it out to confirm the measurement. I don't have any calipers, so I can't be super precise, but it's actually about 7mm at its longest. |

So, this competition is: post your oldest coin that is 1) still being minted today for circulation 2) having the same size and metallic makeup as the modern coins. For example:   The definition of "same metallic makeup," only applies to metals that are more than 10 percent of the content. In other words, if the old and new coins are 95% copper or 90% silver, a change in the metal makeup of the remaining 5% or 10% of the coin is not disqualifying. |

Bottom left coin. I think 1850 - 1900 all nickel, but now copper nickel - hope thats okay. If you are gettiung pernickelty over obverse the 1880s one should suffice  1850 10 Batzen Switzerland Bottom left. 170 years. |

Bottom left looks like a 10 Rappen to me, It should be 10% silver if the date is 1850. They are copper*nickel from 1879-now except for 1932-1939 which were nickel.
