I've at least got a square coin handy: Bactria, Eucratides I (171-145 BC) AE Quadruple unit (20mm, 8.55g) ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΜΕΓΑΛΟΥ ΕΥΚΡΤΙΔΟΥ, Helmeted bust right Dioscuri galloping right, Kharosthi maharajasa evukratidasa  |

Thanks Pepactonius for that porcelain example. I often wonder just how many of these coins survived the years. And dorado, maybe Spence could answer that about Lithuania and Austria, I am not versed in that history, don't know. And Finn has a real coin this time!...I think  but he has joined the award list with one point! Arkie. 4 points Mysilveryears 4 points Pepactonius. 3 points Spence 1.5 points John7420 1.5 points Dorado. 1 point Finn235 1 point I think everyone has just about answered this challenge, any stragglers? Last chance to at least get you very own one of these:  |

Oops, I forgot to catch up on this thread yesterday... Quote:Joseph7420, I must give a half point too in naming the original weird edged coin a "squircle"! Needed a laugh, getting stomped in my auctions so far today!  Maybe not so deserving of a half point— squircles are real!  Quote:
John7420 1.5 points I have been called many things before, but this is certainly new!  |

Congrats Arkie and what a nice coin, too!  Has Arkie won a round to this point? I don't recall it, but I'm not gonna go through all 66 pages to find out!  In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

There was a nice variety posted that round! Good round Crazyb0 I realized the other day how this thread has opened my eyes to other areas of collecting. When I was at the coin show last weekend I found myself glancing through books of tokens  I would never have done that before. Ended up getting myself an OPA blue point like spruett001 posted for one round. |

Made a mistake and clicked on this thread this morning. Now my day is an hour and a half behind. So many of these coins are so cool. Even beautiful if I could be so bold. |

Sorry, I was sure I had checked the thread yesterday and the final result hadn't been announced. Sadly, I have no time this morning before heading to work, so I must beg your patience until this evening. Gives me time to devise my choice.
