Thank you Bd251, I'll see what I can come up with for the next round.

Ok, let's see how this goes.
You will score points for the letters I, V, & X shown on your coin.
If the letters are use in a king's or queen's title then they score their Roman numeral value.
I = 1
V = 5
X = 10
Any other use on the coin will be 1 point per letter.
Both sides of the coin and edge will be allowed.
Even if we can't read the letters on your coin, if you provide
a link to Numista or elsewhere that shows the writing clearly, then the points will count.

Example 1, this scores 9

Example 2, this scores 11.

Now some bonus points.

Metal
4 points for gold
3 points for silver
2 points for copper or bronze
1 point for any other metal

Size
4 points for coins 40 - 49.99mm
3 points for coins 30 - 39.99mm
2 points for coins 20 - 29.99mm
1 point for coins 10 - 19.99mm

Denomination
Add up the total of the digits in the denomination for bonus points.
I.e. 10 = 1, 15 = 6, 20 = 2, 25 = 7 etc.
If the denomination is written like "twelve" or XII, no points, but you would have already scored points for the X, V & I.

OK, lets see what you have.

Only coins with value? What about medals?

King Gustav VI Adolph.
Using the 5 Kronor coin, points: 6 + 1 + 2 + 5 = 14.

NumisEd, I think you short changed yourself. You missed the letters from the bottom of the reverse, so 4 extra points for a total of 18.

Also you missed the L in the engravers name. So 19 in total.

I think that's 11 + 3 + 2 + 7 = 23

Nice Bd251. I only see 21 points though. What's your breakdown of the points?

Sorry Bd251, I goofed and I think you have more. The X is in the King's title, so count that at 10. So 36 points I think.
Come on Jbuck. There is at least 1 points in Eisenhower.
and 5 points here...

Hondo, I think yours is 31. X on obverse is all part of the King's title.
3 points for silver and 1 for size.
