Best I can get by a quick look-through of pre-made photos. There's probably a better one I couldn't find.   Booker T. Washington - 17 letters. George Washington Carver has a longer name in the commonly written form, but the middle name isn't spelled out on the coin. |

Nice coin Dorado, but I think most of that is a title not a name.

Many of the modern surnames in the dictionary can be traced back to Britain and Ireland. Similar surnames: Fountain, Mountain, Von Stein, Costain, Mustain, Romain, Martin, Main Can you explain : where is the title ?  |

Dorado, I don't speak German, so I just did a translate and came up with,
Carl
Reichsfreherr (Baron of the Holy Roman Empire)
Vom (from the)
Stein (Stone)
So Carl, Baron of the Holy Roman Empire from the stone.
Didn't seem like a name to me.
Sorry if I am mistaken.

Post a coin with a long name on it, both first and last name and even middle names if used.Titles not included.
Longest number of letters in the name wins. Simple!
Reichsfreiherr is an unofficial title from the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation. On the one hand, it was used to designate the owners of territories directly related to the Empire, and on the other hand, those who had been given the title of baron by the Holy Roman Emperor. NumisEd : You are winner ! Congratulations |

NumisEd : You are winner ! Congratulations Thanks, Dorado. Let's make this an easier round: simply post a large coin (medals don't count). The largest coin (diameter) wins. I start with a Netherlands Antilles 1976 25 Gulden Commemorative: 45.5 mm diameter.  |
