From what I see on the internet, the 2 capital cities that are furthest apart are Wellington and Madrid.
PrinceTane, have you got a Spanish coin?

Although it was implied, I had to rush out on the 17th and forgot to make it official.

Princetane wins!

Okay - a real go fish challenge for once.

Yet-Another-Forum-Game---Numismatic-Go-Fish!
Yet-Another-Forum-Game---Numismatic-Go-Fish!

Malawi 50 Tambala 1996.

Your challenge, find me the coin as close as possible to it. Most points wins.

+5 Points - year of coin is 1996 and must be in western numerals,
+1 point if coin is dated 1994, 1995, 1997 or 1998

+1 Point - denomination is 50 (Whether Tambala, cents, rubalachim, does not matter)

+1 point, per A in the name of the country and/or denomination

+1 point if the coin is from Africa

+1 point, shows a man on one side
+3 points, If that man is facing left or right
+5 points, If the man appears to be African (Identified by flat nose, big lips or bushy hair and African country name)
+8 points, If he is wearing a suit

This section you can only gain 1 of these point categories, so if your coin has a man facing left, but he is white or Asian, he gets 3 points.

Also he must meet the criteria for the previous category to get the next one (No points for woman, 1 point only for person facing you regardless of his ethnicity or suit, 5 points if he's African and wearing a dashiki etc)

Any confusion ask me.

+7 points if coin has 7 sides

+5 points if it has 5,6, 8, 9 or 10 sides

+2 points if its brass

+1 point per lion on coin

+2 point for a shield shape

+1 point for coat of arms.

Exclusions

Coin can not be from Malawi or Nyasaland (Old name for Malawi)
Coin must be in at least VF condition (No worn flat stuff as African coins are often found worn)
Must be a coin, no medals, essays or fantasies.
You can play as many pieces as you like, but the highest scoring coin counts only.

If unsure about your points entitlement I can work this out, however my decision is final and no correspondence will be entered into it (My rulz).

If you don't have anything like this - type GO FISH and you get a consolation prize of 2 points and the glory of being a entrant - no funny pictures of crying babies or sheep here!

Have fun.
