I'll get this started with Booker T Washington 50c (half dollar)  1 point for denomination of 50c ? 3 points for A's in name of country 2 points for A's in the denomination. 8 points for wearing a suit (I think) Edited by triggersmob

I will give you 10 points, Booker is sort of not facing left or right and he was a Mixed race man with finer features rather than Black African. Also its America, not a rule but lacks a bit of originality on this American saturated board.
All the points for A's and 50, however he is facing 3/4 profile and is not really fully "African" - so 4 points instead of 8.
Good start.
Just a knees up, would prefer to see some more "WORLD" coins rather than Europe or North America.

That was the best I could find PrinceTane. You're a hard task master.
Now I'll have to go hunting again. :)

Great coin - 24 points
7 sides = 7 points
1996 = 5 points
A's in country name and denom = 4 points
Brass = 2 points
Africa = 1 point
African man in profile = 5 points (Shirt looks too open collared to be a suit).
Good work
PS: I can't speak French, only English and Te Reo Maori

1. Dorado - 24 points
2. Triggersmob - 17 points
3. bd251 - 9 points
No one claiming the 2 complimentary points for saying GO FISH (Those with a coin entry of 2 or more points are ineleigible for these freebie points sorry).

13 Points actually, the rules stated the man must be an African for 5 points, not an ultra white racist (Edward VII was considered the most racist along with his son George V of all British rulers).
Barely scrapes in as VF but as its a halfcrown you will get benefit of the doubt.
13 points - still in 3rd place.
And remember my rules - my decision is final and no correspondence can be entered into it.
Will close this competition off tonight NZ time which is 19 hours ahead of American board time.
