Working on an entry, will try to post in a few hours. Would have posted it earlier, but the weekends were unexpectedly busy, and I barely realized it was already Monday.

I apologize, but I was unexpectedly really busy for basically the entire morning and most of the afternoon. Didn't manage to find some free time until basically just now. When I originally saw the wording of the challenge - "some effort of coordination (official or de facto) between the two minting authorities to promote the joint release" - I realized that a pair of otherwise independent coins celebrating the same event probably wouldn't qualify. So for a while I thought that I actually didn't have anything that would. Then I thought of the pair I'm posting here. In retrospect I missed the part of the wording that said "two sovereign nations". So maybe it doesn't actually qualify. Still posting it though. The far-flung British territories of Saint Helena and Ascension Island use joint types of circulating coinage. However, they also issue many commemoratives, separately for each territory. And for the royal visit of Prince Andrew (not yet the Duke of York at the time) in April 1984, they made separate commemorative issues for each territory with essentially the same design...     |

Still posting it though. You are correct, but thank you for sharing! Perhaps my rules were too strict. Next time I will come up with something with broader appeal.  |

Let me enter my pair of NZ Australian entente over the Anzac bond between the 2 countries.
NZ and Australian $5 coins showing Kiwi soldiers and Aussie Diggers.
Their pouches - came in the same set, but could be sold separately in home countries
They were minted both in Australia and hence the same packaging, 38.4mm Aluminium Bronze. Princetane's pair closely matches my example and for that I will declare him the winner of the round.  (I cannot penalize NZ for not having its own mint.) Thanks to all who participated. It was a decent showing! Give us a good one, Prince!  |

Thanks! But to be honest I would have chosen Steve as he got THREE matching coins!  However rules are rules, games are to be played and obeyed! Nice and easy challenge - Year threads are popular and it seems that everyone can show a mix of things now from different years. I will make my year no rules, but it will not be a recent or significant one. I pulled a random year out of the hat! That year is 1836! Yes the year of the Alamo, the reintroduction of the British Groat, Martin Van Buren winning the American Presidency and unseating old Tippecanoe, the last year of a global boom and the oldest gravestones in the Russell church cemetery!    Shilling and Groat from 1836. Only rule is it must be a coin and every coin is different, if you have 10 American dimes from 1836, show each one and they all get a point. If you have an Arabian coin dated AH 1252, it counts. 1 point per coin from 1836.Most points win and yes your 1836 Shillings and Groats are allowed. They just have to be coins and 1836 must be visible somewhere on the coin or equivalent in other date system. Have fun. |

I'll have to sit this one out. I have no coins dated 1836.
I some non dated coins that were around in that year, but not specifically 1836. :(

Okay I am changing the rules only because all of my recent competitions have been flops.
New scoring regime
Coins from 1836 - 5 points each
1835 or 1837 - 3 points each
1834 or 1838 - 2 points each
1833 or 1839 - 1 point each.
Good luck, most points win.
