Two with virtually the same score: France 1626 and 1633 double tournois. Both are 2.5 g and 20 mm. Included the 1633 as the date on the 1626 is a bit rough. My hammered coins and Spanish colonial cobs unfortunately have indistinct or no dates. (1626 + 2.5 +20) / 3 = 549.5.    https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces54320.html  https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces52651.html551.8 Note and shout-out: Both of these were acquired from Numismatics by Kenny, a major supporter of the CCF. I wanted to own coins that had possibly been handled by my ancestors before they were booted from France and sent to Nova Scotia.

Are Islamic dates counted? Or do I need to convert them to the Gregorian calendar?  |

Coin must be dated
Weight must be listed on Numista
Size must be listed on Numista As far as I can tell, anything fitting the above is fair game. However, to be fair, Islamic dates should be converted to Gregorian IMHO. But Keith is the boss of this round. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

Here's the best I could do with an AD date...   Salzburg, Leonhard von Keutschach, zweier, 1521 https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces71661.html(1517+0.62+17)/3 = 511.54 I have some earlier non-AD-dated coins that should qualify, including one that (if I got the conversion right) should give a result of just 200.9 points. Tempted to post that one. |

Best I can offer is this one. 1671 Sweden 1/6 ore.  1671+7.1+25 = 1703.1 / 3 = 567.7 |

This is my oldest coin, a 1796 SIlver Ducat from Utrecht, Batavian Republic.  |

NumisEd, your Ducat might not be a winner in this round, but it's a winner in my book. Quite a beauty it is!

Golden Horde dirham, Kildi Beg, AH 762  https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces322454.htmlThis type is dated AH 762 (that's 1361 according to Numista) but not seen on my coin as it has been pretty severely clipped. Weight 1.45g (Numista). Mine is about 0.8g Size 17mm (Numista). Mine is smaller but apparently I didn't note the actual measurement  (1361+1.45+17)/3= 459.8 |

I bring this coin back since it's my oldest dated coin. Sultanate of Delhi, Khilji Dynasty, 4 gani, 717 AH (1318 AD)   https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces21364.htmlWeighs 3.7 g and is 18 mm in diameter. Going by that, my score should be: (1318+3.7+18)/3 = 446.5 Just waiting for january1may to better my coin  Edited by zorosenpai
