This new style is very confusing and sadly I feel makes the game much less fun.
What about just one entry per person and limit it to one coin both sides, otherwise some people will go out of their way to blend 20 different coins into one image.
Oh well here goes a complex coin for you guys to match.
Ottoman Egypt (Al Misr) - 10 Piastres, silver AH 1335 - AD 1917, Hussien Kameil.
Try and match as much as you can without substituting any Egyptian coin issued between 1909 and 1922.
+1 point for a coin with dates in 2 different scripts
+1 point for a coin with script in 2 different scripts
+1 point, if one of those scripts is not the Western Alphabet (This includes Latin, Teutonic, Hispanic and any language in characters that are western script like Turkish and Kazakhstani), so Chinese, Cyrillic, Greek, Arabic, Malayalam etc are acceptible.
+1 point if coin shows wreaths on it, +1 more point if they are laurel or olive leaves.
+1 point for a coin from the Middle East, bounded by Morocco to Iran including all of Arabia, Sudan and Stans to Kazakhstan and Turkey.
+1 point if coin is 80 - 89% silver (This one is 83.5% silver)
+1 point if the coin is between 28 - 33mm in size (1.1 to 1.3 inches)
+1 point if the coin weighs between 10.5 and 14 grams (This one weighs 13.2grams)
+1 point if coin is 1910s, +5 points if its from 1917.
+1 point if the coin is a type issued for 4 or less years (These were only issued in 1916 and 1917).
No coins not made out of silver, after 1930 or from Western Europe or the Americas accepted. Or Egyptian coins minted between 1909 and 1922 (Basically anything after Abdul Hamid II and before King Fuad).
Please declare if your first entry is tentative and you may enter a second coin. And only 2 coins per competitor will be allowed, no 6 or 7 upgrades or opportunistic and "creative interpretation of the rules" style behaviours.
Good luck, most points win, in the case of a tie, the first to post the tied score wins.
+1 point if you say GO FISH!
