Well, I will try my best.
Was going to do something with a 1821 coin since that seems to be the year that the modern version of Santa Clause came to be. But, alas I don't have anything with that date.
In 1821, the book A New-year's present, to the little ones from five to twelve was published in New York. It contained Old Santeclaus with Much Delight, an anonymous poem describing Santeclaus on a reindeer sleigh, bringing rewards to children.[30] Some modern ideas of Santa Claus seemingly became canon after the anonymous publication of the poem "A Visit From St. Nicholas" (better known today as "The Night Before Christmas")
Im still working on something.
Merry Christmas everyone. May your holiday be peaceful and healthy.

Well, I don't have an extensive world coin collection to draw from. Nor the knowledge of what I have to be of use for this game. I liked the game someone played a couple of rounds ago.
It was based on the concept of the actual game 'Go Fish'. I have a coin in my 7070 from 1832 whoever posts a picture of a match first wins.
Post your guess even if the date you have is off because if no one gets a perfect match then whoever guesses the correct coin but has the closest date wins.
In the event of a tie the first to post wins.
Because of the holiday let's say game ends at 12:00 noon on New Years Day.
Good Luck and Happy New Year !
Edit: I just went through my 7070 and it looks like it's one of five different coins it could be. Am I correct?
You can post multiple guesses.

The date's worn off on my only appropriate type match, but it's at least in the right date range (i.e. it could be 1832; it could also be, say, 1823).   [EDIT: fixed some minor errors in the description.] Edited by january1may
