A sun-worshiper, eh @pt? No just kidding—thx for the vote.
I'm all in with @finn's coin for my vote.

Definitely Finn. I'm not really into Arab-Byzantines, but this coin is awesome and now I want one of those (again).

Thanks all! Didn't expect to win that one! Doing a simple challenge for this one: Post your legal tender silver coin that is closest to or even exceeds the coin's intrinsic value! Example  Japan 10,000 Yen 1986, 60th year of Emperor Showa's reign Face value 10,000 Yen = USD $95.40 Intrinsic value 20g .999 @ $24.50 = $15.94 (You can use Numista for these values) $95.40 / $15.94 = 5.98, nearly six times as much face value as intrinsic value. Similarly, a 40% clad half has an intrinsic value of $3.61, and $0.50 / 3.61 = 0.13. This way, you should be able to calculate in your own currency (for non-US folks) and get the same results. Simple math, highest point value wins! Additional rules: - Must contain silver or another precious metal. No base metals, because we all know a US Large Cent would win! - Coin can be NIFC/NCLT, but must be legal tender in October 2020. - I'm aware that both exchange rates and PM prices fluctuate, so if the finalists are too close, tie breaker will be determined by a re-calculation. |

This is the best I can do from what I have imaged. USA 3 cent silver  Face value - $0.03 Silver value - $0.48 Score = 0.03/0.48 = 0.0625 |

If I have this right. Most overvalued coin vs Silver content and actual face value. Let me know if I am wrong (I am hoping NOT to win as coming up with new challenges is hard.   PNG 10 Kina 1976 Proof coin, but still legal tender. Weight 41.6 grams of 92.5% silver = 38.48 grams Silver value = NZ$45.62 (23/10/20) Numista Face value PNGK 10 = NZ$4.22 $45.62 divided by $4.22 = 10.81 times. |

@pt it would be face value in the numerator.
4.22/45.62 = 0.0925
