Yet Another Forum Game - Numismatic Go Fish!

Ok will try to find something in the am that is more inclusive than some of my recent challenges.

With the site back up and running, I can post my challenge. Hopefully it is better received than my last couple.

As so many of us have been, I've also been thinking about the COVID-19 coronavirus quite a bit lately. While it is too early to predict the long term effects of this current pandemic, most if not all of us have been impacted by some way and I certainly don't want to minimize this.

Historically, there are several previous flare-ups of the plague which caused stark shifts in the course of humankind. According to John Firth in his 2012 paper titled "The History of Plague - Part 1. The Three Great Pandemics", these were:

1. The Justinian Plague of 541-544 AD
2. The Black Death of 1347 - 1352 AD
3. The third pandemic of 1894 - 1959 AD

This challenge is to post a coin from as many of these three time periods as possible. Here are the deets:
1. You get one point for posting a coin from a specific period, up to a maximum of three (if you post one from each time period).
2. Posting multiple coins from one period doesn't provide extra points.
3. As you know, dating of Medieval and Dark Ages coins is a bit of an art, so try your best to get the dates to match up. The date range for your coin must overlap by at least one year of 541-544, 1347-1352, or 1894-1959. However, the date range shouldn't extend more than 25 years beyond the pandemic range. My Ostrogoth coin below was minted between 542 and 545 AD so it overlaps with the Justinian Plague, but only extends beyond the range by 1 year. On the other hand, I have a Khwarezmid Drachm which was minted between 525 and 575 AD that would not be worth a point since the coin's date range is broader than the plague's date range by more than 25 years (i.e. 575 - 544 = 31 years).
4. If the exact date that a coin was minted is known, then this year must fall within the ranges above to be worth a point. Partial years are acceptable for AH dated coins.
5. Highest number of points wins, with ties going to whoever posted first.

For those interested in learning more about the history and impact of these plagues, here is a link to Firth's paper:

An interesting concept!

I can only satisfy #3 though.

It's an interesting concept and I don't mind waiting for entries, I just thought you might like some input.

I don't have anything that fits into the first two categories, but I can get one point.
